Summary
John Tonje, fresh off his Wisconsin Badgers days, just signed a two-way deal with the Portland Trail Blazers — making him the second Badger alum on the roster, joining Micah Potter. While Tonje’s path may involve split time between Portland and the G-League, Potter, with NBA experience including a career-high 47 games last season, is poised for immediate action. Tonje, who previously played for the Celtics, now aims to carve out a bigger role in his second pro shot, with his contract securing him through the 2026-27 season. Both players are chasing their NBA dreams — and we’re watching closely. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
