The Portland Trail Blazers plan to waive guard Eric Bledsoe ahead of his guarantee date approaching, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Entering his 13th NBA season, several teams are expected to pursue Bledsoe as a free agent.

The 32-year-old averaged 9.9 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4.2 assists over 54 games with the Los Angeles Clippers last season. Bledsoe was traded to the Trail Blazers in early February, but never played in a game with the team due to an Achilles tendon injury. 

Over 756 career games with the Clippers, Phoenix Suns, Milwaukee Bucks and New Orleans Pelicans, Bledsoe is averaging 13.7 points, 3.9 rebounds and 4.7 assists.
