But when it came time to officially meet the Joker on Friday night in Portland, Hansen received some serious advice from the 31-year-old Serbian superstar. “He told me don’t get nervous all the time,” Yang Hansen said, translated by Liu. “He’s like, you’re a great player. Just go play.” Nerves are part of the game for any NBA rookie, but those around the Trail Blazers say Hansen can be particularly hard on himself during his brief opportunities if things don’t go according to plan. That emotion is visible each time Hansen takes the court.

Portland Trail Blazers reserve center Yang Hansen walked off the court on his own after a scary collision and head injury midway through the fourth quarter against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night. Hansen scrambled for a loose ball under the Blazers' basket with 6:55 remaining and was trying to pass it out when Golden State's Will Richard made contact to the back of Hansen's head with his knee.
