Trail Blazers' Skylar Mays: Scores 21 in season finale
Rotowire
Mays accumulated 21 points (7-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, 12 assists and three steals in 41 minutes during Sunday's 157-101 loss to Golden State.
Mays inked a 10-day deal with the Trail Blazers in late March and signed a rest-of-the-season deal on April 9. He started all six of his appearances and averaged 15.3 points with 8.3 assists per contest, but it must be noted he saw regular playing time when the Blazers had all their starters shut down and with the team out of playoff contention. Given the Trail Blazers have Damian Lillard, Anfernee Simons and Shaedon Sharpe on the roster for next season, it's hard to imagine a scenario where they opt to re-sign Mays this summer.

Trail Blazers' Skylar Mays: Signs for rest of season
Rotowire
Mays signed a rest-of-season contract with the Trail Blazers on Sunday.
Mays signed a 10-day contract at the end of March and has started five straight contests, posting 14.2 points, 7.6 assists and 3.0 rebounds in 29.6 minutes. His initial deal was set to expire, so Portland signed him to another contract for the final game of the campaign. Given his strong play, Mays should garner some interest as a free agent this summer.

Trail Blazers' Skylar Mays: Scores 14 points in start
Rotowire
Mays recorded 14 points (5-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Friday's 138-114 loss to the Kings.
Mays, who was recently signed to a 10-day contract, drew the start at point guard with numerous Trail Blazers sidelined, including Damian Lillard (calf), who's been shut down for the remainder of the campaign. Mays was solid during his first appearance of the year and should continue to garner extended looks over Portland's final five regular-season games, though there's no guarantee he'll be able to maintain quality production despite having a somewhat assured role moving forward.

Trail Blazers' Skylar Mays: Gets start Friday
Rotowire
Mays will start at point guard for Friday's game against the Kings, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
Mays was signed to a 10-day contract March 29. The Blazers are very thin in the backcourt and have already shut down Damian Lillard (calf) for the season, so they'll waste no time in seeing what Mays can do as a primary ball handler.

Trail Blazers' Skylar Mays: Signs with Portland
Rotowire
The Trail Blazers signed Mays to a 10-day contract Wednesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Mays spent the 2022-23 G League season with the Mexico City Capitanes. He could see some minutes at the NBA level during the final weeks of the regular season with Damian Lillard (calf) shut down. However, he's unlikely to have serious fantasy value unless Portland shuts down more members of the regular rotation in an attempt to get younger players, like Mays, more playing time.

Skylar Mays: Team-high scoring tally Monday
Rotowire
Mays tallied 25 points (10-21 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five assists, one rebound and one steal across 39 minutes in Mexico City's 111-98 loss to Birmingham on Monday.
Mays led the Capitanes in scoring while eclipsing the 20-point mark for the third time in the last four games. The 2020 second-round pick of the Hawks also has been more aggressive from behind the arc of late, draining multiple threes in three consecutive games while putting up between seven and 11 attempts from distance in those contests.

Rotowire

Mays continues to unsurprisingly thrive at the G League level, with Sunday's game marking his fifth straight with at least 15 points. The 2020 second-round pick of the Hawks has also been a solid facilitator, dishing out at least five assists in five of the last seven contests.

Rotowire
Mays managed 23 points (7-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds and one assist across 35 minutes in the Capitanes' 109-105 win over Ontario on Monday.
Mays managed to replicate his scoring total from Sunday's loss to Ontario, which came largely on the strength of a 9-for-16 showing from the field. The 2020 second-round pick of the Hawks has been a seamless fit with the Capitanes in his first seven games, averaging 20.3 points, 7.0 assists and 5.4 rebounds across 34.9 minutes per contest while shooting an efficient 49.0 percent.

The assist tally helped make up for a sluggish shooting night, and Mays followed up Wednesday's effort with an even more impressive double-double in Thursday's loss to Sioux Falls. Mays posted 24 points (8-14 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 assists and four rebounds across 42 minutes in that contest, and he's now averaging 19.2 points, 8.8 assists and 5.2 rebounds across 34.3 minutes in his five games with Mexico City.

Rotowire
Mays contributed 12 points (6-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five assists and two rebounds across 28 minutes in the Capitanes' 111-99 loss to the Hustle on Thursday.
Mays put together his third productive showing for his new squad in as many games, although the move to the bench Thursday led to a scoring downturn. The 2020 second-round pick of the Hawks had exceeded 20 points in each of his first two contests with the Capitanes, but his production Thursday was still solid considering it came with reduced playing time.
