The Portland Trail Blazers signed wing Barry Dunning Jr. and guard Mark Sears to Exhibit 10 contracts. Dunning and Sears are both eventually expected to join the Rip City Remix for the G League season.

Dunning went undrafted out of Pittsburgh at the 2026 NBA Draft. The 6-foot-6 wing averaged 12.5 points and 5.9 rebounds as a senior for Panthers.

Sears spent part of last season on a two-way contract with the Milwaukee Bucks. In 37 G League games with the Wisconsin Herd, the 6-foot point guard averaged 18.1 points, 3.6 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game.

The Trial Blazers also waived guard Mark Armstrong and forward/center Samson Johnson. Armstrong and Johnson had been signed to Exhibit 10 deals earlier in the week.
