Caupain came to terms Sunday on a contract with Hapoel Holon of the Israeli Basketball Premier League, EuroBasket.com reports.
As a two-way player for the Magic last season, Caupain appeared in four contests, averaging only 4.0 minutes per appearance. After signing a camp deal with the Trail Blazers and failing to make the opening night roster, Caupain elected to head overseas rather than accepting a contract in the G League.

Trail Blazers' Troy Caupain: Inks camp deal with Blazers
Rotowire
Caupain agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract with the Trail Blazers on Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Undrafted out of Cincinnati in 2017, Caupain has played in just four NBA games. He spent essentially all of last season with the Lakeland Magic of the G League, where he averaged 16.4 points on 12.7 shots, 5.8 rebounds and 4.9 assists in 33.7 minutes. Portland will give him a training camp tryout, and it's possible Caupain will land a roster spot and be able to provide the team with additional backcourt depth.

Troy Caupain: Respectable box score in win
Rotowire
Caupain finished Tuesday's blowout win over Windy City with 22 points (9-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and a steal.
Caupain and fellow two-way player Amile Jefferson combined to score 55 of the team's 141 points, with the majority coming in the first half of a contest that quickly got out of hand. Caupain has been a vital part of Lakeland's playoff-clinching roster, averaging 16.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.23 assists and 0.9 steals in 47 games.

Magic's Troy Caupain: Moves back to parent club
Rotowire
Caupain was recalled from the G League's Lakeland Magic on Monday.
Caupain will presumably practice with Orlando on Monday, but it's unclear if he'll stick around with the parent club through its next game Tuesday in Philadelphia. Even if he suits up for contest, Caupain wouldn't be included in coach Steve Clifford's rotation and would be looking at little more than garbage-time minutes.

Magic's Troy Caupain: Scores 22 in loss
Rotowire
Caupain finished Friday's loss to the Stars with 22 points (8-18 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two steals and one assist.
There's a possibility Orlando's two-way player could factor more into the team's plans towards the end of the NBA regular season, but for the moment Caupain is a legitimate threat at the G League level. So long as Caupain continues to soak up minutes (he played 40 on Friday), it's hard to fathom the combo guard struggling to put together production.

Magic's Troy Caupain: Drops 21 in win over Agua Caliente
Rotowire
Caupain scored 21 points (9-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 0-0 FT,) and earned 10 assists, five rebounds and two steals in Lakeland's 131-120 win over Agua Caliente on Wednesday.
Caupain has been a model of consistency for Lakeland ever since joining the team last year. Averaging 16.6 points per game this season on a shooting average of 45.7 percent, Caupain has shown he knows how to give himself good looks at the basket while acting as a catalyst for the offense. In the first quarter, Caupain picked up five points along with his three assists before taking over the second quarter with seven points. Caupain didn't have a great fourth quarter, but he had already all but locked up the win for Lakeland, who remain in second place in the Eastern conference.

Rotowire
Caupain totaled 24 points (8-17 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 32 minutes Saturday against Fort Wayne.
Caupain led his team in scoring on the day, knocking down an impressive five of nine attempts from beyond the arc in a 107-92 victory on the road.

Magic's Troy Caupain: Makes NBA debut
Rotowire
Caupain played five minutes off the bench Monday in the Magic's 125-100 loss to the Hornets, finishing with five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two assists, one rebound and one steal.
Caupain has rarely suited up for Orlando this season, as the two-way player has instead spent the bulk of his time with the G League's Lakeland Magic. However, with all of D.J. Augustin (ankle), Jonathon Simmons (ankle) and Timofey Mozgov (knee) inactive for the contest, Caupain was included on the bench and made his long-awaited NBA debut in garbage time. The injuries to Augustin and Simmons don't appear to be long-term concerns, so it wouldn't be surprising if Caupain returned to the inactive list as soon as Wednesday in Chicago.

Magic's Troy Caupain: Returns to G League
Rotowire
The Magic transferred Caupain to the G League's Lakeland Magic on Sunday.
Caupain, a two-way player, has yet to see any action at the NBA level and was likely just up with Orlando for a brief period to fit in some practice time. He's averaging 16.1 points, 5.6 boards and 4.9 assists per game for Lakeland this season.

Magic's Troy Caupain: Posts balanced stat sheet
Rotowire
Caupain tallied 17 points (6-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block across 28 minutes during Friday's 87-85 summer league loss to the Thunder.
Caupain was second on the team in points and assists Friday, contributing significantly to the offense. However, his four assists were dampened by his five turnovers. The Cincinnati product, who went undrafted in 2017, has had some success in summer league this season. Prior to Friday's effort, Caupain was averaging 12.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.8 assists while shooting 47.9 percent from the field.

Magic's Troy Caupain: Inks two-way contract with Magic
Rotowire
Caupain signed a two-way contract with the Magic on Tuesday, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
The Orlando organization is plenty familiar with Caupain, as he's currently playing for their summer league squad and also spent the 2017-18 campaign playing for the team's G-League affiliate, the Lakeland Magic. In 50 games with Lakeland, Caupain averaged 15.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.4 steals across 37.5 minutes. He also knocked down 43.2 percent of his field goal attempts and 34.5 percent of his three-pointers. While the 6-foot-4 guard could certainly use some added consistency with his shot, the Magic still like his upside and are willing to give him a two-way contract. That means Caupain will be able to spend up to 45 days at the NBA level with the Magic, while the rest of his time will be playing for the team's G-League affiliate once again.

Rotowire
Caupain provided 20 points (9-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 24 minutes during Friday's 86-80 summer league victory over the Nets.
Caupain is no stranger to the Orlando organization, as he spent all of last season with the G-League's Lakeland Magic. He started all 50 games he appeared in, averaging 15.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.4 steals. Though he didn't do much for supplementary stats during Friday's game, he certainly flashed his scoring upside.

Magic's Troy Caupain: Secures summer league invite
Rotowire
Caupain will join the Magic's summer league team, Clevis Murray of The Athletic Boston reports.
Caupain, a 6-foot-4 point guard, went undrafted in 2017 following a four-year stint at Cincinnati. He didn't appear in an NBA game last season, spending the year in the G-League with the Lakeland Magic. There, he started in all 50 of his appearances, averaging 15.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.4 steals in 37.5 minutes. He struggled with efficiency, however, shooting 43.2 percent from the field and 34.5 percent from distance.

Rotowire
Caupain registered 12 points (4-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds and four assists during Wednesday's 98-88 loss to the Greensboro Swarm.
