Rotowire
Kent recorded 20 points (4-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal over 32 minutes during Sunday's 112-105 Las Vegas Summer League overtime loss to the Magic.
Kent led the Trail Blazers' Summer League squad in scoring, but with much of the supporting cast struggling to find the bottom of the net, he wasn't able to lead Portland to a victory. They'll look to bounce back Monday against Minnesota.

Trail Blazers' Jayson Kent: Lands two-way deal with Portland
Rotowire
Kent agreed Tuesday with the Trail Blazers on a two-way deal, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Kent will fill the Trail Blazers' third and final two-way slot, which had recently been vacated after Sidy Cissoko was upgraded to a standard contract. The undrafted rookie out of Texas had already been playing for Portland's G League affiliate, the Rip City Remix, and he'll now be able to move between both the NBA and G League for the remainder of the regular season. Through 38 appearances with Rip City this season, Kent has averaged 11.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.7 three-pointers, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 26.4 minutes per game.
