The Pro Start 2S Basketball Camp, put on by Pro Start Sports, will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. July 17 and 18 at the high school. Boys and girls players ages 6 to 17 may attend.
Portis, who has played three NBA seasons, averaged 13.2 points and 6.8 rebounds a game for the Bulls. He played college basketball at Arkansas and was taken by the Bulls with the 22nd pick of the 2015 NBA Draft.
