Shaq Joins The Portland Trail Blazers
The Portland Trail Blazers have added Shaq to their lineup. Yes, that's right. According to NBA Insider Adrian Wojnarowski, the Blazers have signed Shaq Harrison to a 10-day contract. Which Shaq did you think it was?
The Portland Trail Blazers are signing veteran free agent guard Shaq Harrison on a 10-day contract, sources tell ESPN. Harrison -- who has played with five NBA teams -- spent the season with the South Bay Lakers of the G League.

The five-year veteran guard hasn't played in the NBA since the 2021-22 season, when he only played in two games for the Brooklyn Nets.
The Blazers' injury list continues to grow, as they have 10 players hobbled right now, leading to the need for another fresh body to finish out the season.
Shaq Harrison signing is under medical hardship exception just like Skylar Mays, I’m told. @wojespn first reported the signing.

As noted by Blazers beat writer Sean Highkin, the signing is a medical hardship exception.
Harrison, 29, has spent his season in the G League with the South Bay Lakers, where he's averaged 13.6 points, 6.2 boards, 8.3 assists and 2.1 steals.
After going undrafted out of Tulsa in 2016, Harrison has tried his hand in the NBA with the Phoenix Suns, Chicago Bulls, Utah Jazz, Denver Nuggets as well as the Nets. He's averaged 5.2 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steal in about 15 minutes per game.
