Donovan Clingan Portland Trail Blazers 2024 NBA Summer League Game Worn Jersey | NBA Summer League Debut

This neutral ‘White Summer League’ jersey was worn by Donovan Clingan on July 13, 2024 during the NBA Summer League, when the Portland Trail Blazers played the San Antonio Spurs. This is the first NBA Las Vegas Summer League jersey worn by Clingan. 

Clingan finished with 4 points, 13 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 5 blocks. The Trail Blazers lost to the Spurs, 83-77. 

Donovan Clingan was the defensive anchor of one of the best college basketball teams of all time on the UConn Huskies. Known for his imposing presence as a 7-foot center, Donovan Clingan has brought his notable shot-blocking, rebounding, and paint protection skills to the NBA. The Blazers selected him 7th overall in the 2024 NBA, pairing him inside with Deandre Ayton to form an intriguing offensive-defensive pairing down low. 

Entering his rookie season, Clingan is expected to be a key contributor in the defensive schemes of his team- his ability to alter shots and provide rim protection will be a valuable asset. Offensively, he will need to continue developing his skills, particularly his ability to score efficiently in the post and improve his range.
