Keylan Boone is off the Portland Trail Blazers' roster, a move confirmed by the team's official roster listing on Thursday, September 24. The exit follows a Thursday report from Hoopsrumors that Portland waived several players, in a story headlined by Keon Johnson.
The move
Boone, a 25-year-old rookie forward, is off the Portland Trail Blazers' roster as of Thursday, September 24, per the team's official roster listing, with no destination club noted. Hoopsrumors reported that same day that Portland waived several players, in a story headlined by Keon Johnson; the report carried no confidence rating and did not name Boone directly as one of the players waived. His contract details are not on file yet.
The money
Boone's contract is not on file yet; public salary data can lag a signing or departure by a day, so his cap hit and any years are unknown for now. Portland carries $194.5 million in salary across 16 contracts for 2026-27, putting the club over the $165.0 million salary cap but under the $200.4 million luxury tax line. The Trail Blazers also sit below both the $209.0 million first apron and the $221.7 million second apron.
The fit
Boone leaves a Portland roster picture with no NBA line of his own from last season; as a rookie, he has no games logged to compare against the returning group. Last season's leaders in minutes were Deni Avdija (33.3 minutes, 24.2 points) and Toumani Camara (33.3 minutes, 13.4 points), followed by Jerami Grant (29.7 minutes, 18.6 points) and Jrue Holiday (29.4 minutes, 16.3 points), among others. The move leaves the Trail Blazers with 18 players on the roster, against a standard limit of 15 plus three two-way spots.
