Taze Moore

Taze Raekwon Moore (born September 21, 1998) is an American basketball player for the Portland Trail Blazers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played college basketball for the Cal State Bakersfield Roadrunners and Houston Cougars.

Moore began his college career at Cal State Bakersfield. He played for the Roadrunners from 2016 to 2021, earning first-team All-Big West Conference honors as a senior. He struggled with injuries during his CSUB career, missing the entire 2017–18 season with a broken tibia and fibula in his right knee. Following the 2020–21 season, he entered the NCAA transfer portal.

Seeking to compete at a higher level, Moore ultimately chose the University of Houston and coach Kelvin Sampson for his final year of eligibility. He was a starter for a Cougars team that went 33–4, averaging 10.4 points and 4.9 rebounds in his sole season with the team.

Undrafted out of Houston, Moore played for the Texas Legends of the NBA G League, averaging 13.9 points, 3.7 assists and 6.7 rebounds per game. The next season he was invited to the Dallas Mavericks training camp, but failed to make the team. He rejoined the Legends and on January 11, 2024 was traded to the Rip City Remix.

Moore signed a 10-day contract with the Portland Trail Blazers, making his NBA debut on January 21, 2023. He scored two points and recorded a steal in 4 minutes off the bench. The move made Moore the first player in Remix franchise history to earn an NBA call-up.

Moore represents the USA in 3x3 basketball, playing for Team Washington DC in the 2023 FIBA 3x3 World Tour.
