Joel Freeland Assigned To NBA D-League

By Sam Neter on December 14, 2012

GB star Joel Freeland’s NBA rookie season has gone from bad to worse as he has been assigned to the Portland Trailblazers’ D-League side Idaho Stampede today, to play in two Development League games, general manager Neil Olshey has announced.

The 6’11” big man, who hasn’t played the last two games, will join Idaho for games against the Santa Cruz Warriors tonight and Saturday in Boise. For the season, he is averaging 2.2 points and 1.8 rebounds in 10.2 minutes, making appearances in just 12 games.

Worth noting – D-League games stream live on YouTube. An upcoming schedule of live games to be broadcast can be found here. Both Friday night’s game and Saturday night’s game will be shown (H/T Blazersedge).

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
