Mark Sears is a 24-year-old guard out of Alabama, listed at 6-0 and 185 pounds. He wears No. 19 for Portland. He is entering his second season as a pro after one year in the league, and the Trail Blazers now have him on the roster for 2026-27. His college background at Alabama is the only school listed for him, and everything else in his profile ties back to that one NBA season already on the books.
02The Rookie Season in MilwaukeeSears played his first NBA season with the Milwaukee Bucks, appearing in seven games.
Sears played his first NBA season with the Milwaukee Bucks, appearing in seven games. His workload was thin: 3.7 minutes a game, 3.1 points, 0.3 rebounds and 0.3 assists. He did not record a steal or a block in that stretch and averaged 0.6 turnovers. The counting stats were small, but the efficiency numbers stood out for such a short look: 46.2 percent from the field, 50.0 percent from three-point range and 75.0 percent from the foul line, with a true shooting mark of 66.6 percent.
