Portland signs Lee Hyun-jung to Exhibit 10 deal

A 60-day G League stay could unlock a $77,500 bonus

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated Sep 71 min read

What happened: Epik Sports announced the one-year, non-guaranteed agreement Monday ahead of the 2026-27 season. Lee will join training camp and can move to G League affiliate Rip City Remix if waived.

Why it matters: The move gives the 26-year-old another NBA route after playing for Japan's Nagasaki Velca. Portland gains a camp option without guaranteeing a standard roster spot.

By the numbers: A standard-roster berth would put Lee on the $1.35 million rookie minimum; a two-way conversion would pay roughly half that amount. The G League salary is about $46,000.

What to watch: Lee will first join South Korea's preparations for the 2026 Asian Games before reporting to Portland's camp.
