Former Oregon basketball star E.J. Singler may get a chance to play in the NBA, and he gets to stay in his home state to do so.

On Friday, Yahoo! Sports reported that the Portland Trail Blazers signed the former Oregon forward to a training camp contract.

Iowa State's Chris Babb (Boston Celtics) and Oregon's E.J. Singler (Portland Trail Blazers) have agreed to training camp deals.

The deal, which makes Singler a non-roster invitee, is not guaranteed.

During the summer, Singler participated in pre-draft workouts for the Trail Blazers but was not selected during June’s NBA draft. He did get to play for the Detroit Pistons’ summer league squad, albeit in limited action.

Singler was born in Medford, Ore. and attended South Medford High School. He played for the Ducks the past four years, averaging 10.9 points per game, 5.1 rebounds per game, and 44.7 percent shooting from the field in his career. Last season, Singler helped the Ducks reach the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet Sixteen for the first time since 2007.
