The Portland Trail Blazers have signed free agent center George Conditt IV to an Exhibit 10 contract, his agent Pedro Power informed ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Conditt, 23, went undrafted out of Iowa State University in 2022.

Conditt became one of only four Big 12 players in the last 10 seasons 6-foot-9 or taller with at least 65 assists. Also, he recorded 30 blocks as a senior and finished his career with 128, the fourth-most in school history.

An Exhibit 10 contract can be converted into a two-way contract before the regular season begins. Centers Ibou Badji and John Butler Jr. occupy two of the Trail Blazersโ three two-way slots.
Under the leagueโs new collective bargaining agreement, the maximum number of two-way players an NBA team can sign increased from two to three. Portland could offer George Conditt its final two-way spot.
Training camp contracts are usually non-guaranteed. NBA teams can waive the player without taking a cap hit. After being waived, the player earns between $5,000 to $75,000 if they remain with the teamโs G League affiliate for 60 days.
