Yang Hansen missed training due to feeling unwell! Experiencing headaches and dizziness, he will not participate in today's G League game for the Mix team.

On December 10th Beijing time, Trail Blazers beat reporter Sean Highkin reported that Yang Hansen was feeling unwell today and did not join the team’s practice; he will also be absent from today’s G League match for the Mix team. Luyper and Cook have been sent down to participate with the Mix squad.

Highkin also mentioned that Sabur, Jr. Holiday, and Henderson have engaged in non-contact training but have not yet been fully cleared to return; Klingen completed some training drills but did not join full team practice, while Robert Williams, who was previously ill, has returned to team training.

In the previous Trail Blazers vs. Grizzlies game, Klingen was sidelined due to injury, and Robert Williams was out sick, which gave Yang Hansen his first NBA career start. In the final quarter, Yang was hit in the face by an opponent and fell to the floor, hitting the back of his head on the court and remained down for a long time. Afterwards, media personality "Wo Le Ge Hu Douer" (also a friend of Hansen) revealed: “After being hit in the head yesterday, Yang experienced dizziness and headaches. After examination yesterday, he still needs observation to determine if there is any problem.”

In that game, Yang Hansen’s performance was poor, troubled by excessive fouls. He played 19 minutes and 13 seconds, and the team ultimately lost 96-119. Yang shot 2 of 5, contributing 4 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists, while committing 2 turnovers and 5 fouls. He scored zero points and had 4 fouls in the first half, a disastrous showing, but improved somewhat in the second half.

In his first 13 NBA regular-season games, Yang Hansen averaged only 7.7 minutes per game, posting 2.6 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 0.8 assists, with an overall shooting percentage of just 30.0%; beyond the arc, he was 1 for 16, shooting 6.3%.

Beat reporter Richman said on a podcast: “Yang Hansen struggled significantly in his debut phase, picking up two fouls within the first four minutes. The Grizzlies specifically targeted him with tactics, having Zach Edey repeatedly post up low, while Yang’s help defense positioning and defensive awareness were clearly lacking. Fortunately, he steadied himself in the second half and performed better, but his rough first quarter showed he is not yet ready for NBA competition. Considering his youth and ongoing development, such struggles are understandable.”

Regardless, health always comes first. Let us wish Yang a speedy recovery and a swift return to the court.
