Quinn Ellis to play NBA Summer League with Portland Trail Blazers

By Sam Neter on July 2, 2024

Quinn Ellis has been picked up to play NBA Summer League with the Portland Trail Blazers, starting July 12 in Las Vegas.

The GB point guard will be looking to work his way on to an NBA roster after going undrafted, in similar vein to fellow Brit Tosan Evbuomwan last season.

Ellis had 14 workouts with NBA teams, being amongst the prospects who had the most workouts, and is now set to join Portland for training camp starting July 5.

“Having had the opportunity to work out for so many NBA teams has been a blessing and such a growing experience for me,” Ellis told Hoopsfix.

“I’m sure playing in the NBA Summer League now will be a beneficial opportunity. Excited and ready for what is next!”

The 6’4” guard averaged 8.9 points, 3.8 assists and 2.8 rebounds on 61.0 TS% in EuroCup action this season, including two game winners, before breaking his fifth metatarsal which saw him out for 2 months only to return in April and have an immediate impact in Legabasket games for Trento.

The 2022 Hoopsfix All-Star Classic MVP chose to keep his name in the draft, after initially declaring at the end of April.

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.
