The Trail Blazers currently have two open two-way contracts after converting forward Sidy Cissoko to a standard deal on Friday and waiving guard Javonte Cooke on Monday. They have undrafted rookie Caleb Love signed to a two-way contract.
Youngblood is averaging 20.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.2 steals while shooting 43.8% from the field in 17 appearances with the Blue. He produced a career-high 35 points, eight rebounds and five assists in a win over the Austin Spurs on Feb. 24.
The 24-year-old has had a productive year in the G League and will now join the Trail Blazers' organization. He will look to finish out the year on a high note and build positive momentum heading into next season.
