Traded to Vancouver Blackmon was selected by Charlotte FC in the 2021 MLS Expansion Draft, before being traded to the Whitecaps in exchange for $475,000 in General Allocation Money across two years.

Impact Blackmon made 22 MLS appearances (15 starts) across the back line for LAFC last season, but he struggled with injuries and was very limited in the final few months. The 25-year-old will want to arrive to his new club fully fit and looking to break into the lineup.

Makes clearance in season finale Blackmon subbed into Sunday's match against Colorado in the 86th minute and he made a clearance in the defeat.

Impact Blackmon started 14 of LAFC's first 21 games this season, but he suffered a groin injury in September and played just 114 minutes in the final two months. The 25-year-old will want to return next year in full health.

Nearing return Blackmon (groin) has returned to "parts of training," and LAFC manager Bob Bradley says he's "not far off" from being fit, according to Delmy Barillas of LA Sports Access.

Impact Blackmon has missed seven MLS games with a groin injury he suffered about a month ago, but he is questionable for this weekend and could be back on the pitch soon.
