A pair of former Arizona Wildcats will square off in the Las Vegas Summer League Finals on Monday, as Gabe York (Los Angeles Lakers) and Nick Johnson (Portland Trail Blazers) won their respective semifinal games Sunday.
York had seven points in the Lakers’ 108-98 win over the Dallas Mavericks. He played just six minutes, but knocked down five free throws down the stretch to help the Lakers advance to the championship round.
“They don’t get all the glitz and the glory but they won us that game,” Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma said of York (and Matt Thomas) after the game.
