Casey Holdahl reported more details on the move.

Via Holdahl: "This would seem to indicate Rupert will be available to play in Friday’s Remix home opener but not in the tournament game versus the Lakers, both of which are on Friday"

Rupert was the 43rd pick in the 2023 NBA Draft and has played in four games so far this season.

Last year, he played in 20 games for the New Zealand Breakers and averaged 6.6 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists per contest while shooting 36.4% from the field and 25.0% from the three-point range.

The 19-year-old will likely spend a lot of time in the G League this season.
