Oregon State's Drew Eubanks will be calling Portland home for at least 10 more days as the 6-foot-9, 245-pounder signed a third 10-day contract with the Portland Trail Blazers.

In seven starts with the Blazers, Eubanks has averaged 9.6 points 8.1 rebounds, including career-high 20 points in Portland's win over Washington on Saturday. He's also recorded two double-doubles since arriving in Rip City and averages 20-25 minutes of action per contest.
