The Portland Trail Blazers have guaranteed the salary of Duop Reath ahead of the 2024-25 season, seeing the Australian stay in Oregon for the next 12 months.
Heading into Reath's third season in the NBA, the 29-year-old will be part of an exciting young core that made significant moves during the off-season.
After a quieter sophomore year for Portland, the big man will look to make an impact for Chauncey Billup's squad as they look primed to contend for a playoff spot.

According to Hoops Hype's Michael Scotto, Portland has fully guaranteed Reath's US$2.22 million salary, making him officially part of the team's future.
"I had a great season, I was happy with everything," Reath told Sporting News Australia in June.
"Obviously, I didn't play that much, but I was still happy with just being there and still getting better. Helping the guys, helping the team in whatever way that I can participate in.
"[Chauncey Billups] makes everything very relatable. He's a guy that's been there, done it. It's just he cares about the guys. He has a real good relationship with all the players. I think that plays a big part."
Reath appeared in 46 games for Portland last season, averaging 4.2 points, 2 rebounds, and 0.6 assists per game.
