In the G-League, the Mixers fell 113-117 to the Santa Cruz Warriors. Yang Hanson struggled early—playing 15 minutes in the first half, he shot just 1-of-5, 0-of-1 from three, 0-of-1 from the free-throw line, tallying 2 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 turnovers, and a -16 plus-minus. Both offense and defense struggled.

The third quarter saw a revival as Hanson adjusted his offensive approach, improved efficiency, grabbed more rebounds, and contributed defensively, temporarily boosting his stats. Unfortunately, limited minutes in the fourth quarter, mostly running back and forth, capped his final output: 29:05 minutes, 9-of-5 shooting, 0-of-1 from three, 1-of-3 free throws, 11 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks, but 5 turnovers and 4 fouls, with a -16 plus-minus.

Over the past month, Hanson’s form has dipped. The G-League previously allowed him freedom to dominate, but NBA competition has affected his performance. Even after strong All-Star play, his contributions in official games remain low. If this trend continues, the Trail Blazers may struggle to invest further, and Hanson’s NBA journey faces urgent challenges; the gap to NBA level remains significant.
