The Portland Trail Blazers will sign center Georgios Papagiannis for the rest of the season, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski:

The Portland Trail Blazers are signing 7-footer Georgios Papagiannis for the rest of the season, league source tells ESPN. He recently signed a 10-day with Blazers after Kings waived him at trade deadline. — Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) March 17, 2018

ESPN’s Bobby Marks made note of Portland’s payroll after they signed guard Wade Baldwin earlier this week:

The Trail Blazers are still $232K below the luxury tax after the Wade Baldwin signing. Portland can still sign a player to a rest of the season contract and stay below the tax. — Bobby Marks (@BobbyMarks42) March 12, 2018

Papagiannis signed a 10-day contract with Portland on Mar. 6 after being waived by the Sacramento Kings at the trade deadline. Since he was waived prior to Mar. 1, he is playoff eligible.

The big man was the No. 13 overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft. He’s appeared in just 38 career games, averaging 4.2 points and 3.2 rebounds per game.

He has yet to appear in a game for the Blazers.
