The Portland Trail Blazers released their roster today for their upcoming NBA Summer League games in Las Vegas, NV.

Former Notre Dame hoops star Pat Connaughton '15, will be wearing uniform #5 for the Trail Blazers in their opening game this Saturday against the Boston Celtics.

Should be a special moment for Pat and his family -- playing the Celtics in his first action as a professional.
