Gortman filled in admirably for Williams

LAS VEGAS – Because of an injury to Dallas Mavericks point guard Brandon Williams, backup playmaker Jazian Gortman got to start in this past

Wednesday’s NBA 2K25 Summer League game against the Miami Heat.

And what an indelible impression he made.

Gortman collected 19 points, three assists and two steals, and was 7-of-15 from the field, including 3-of-8 from behind the three-point line during the 92-79 loss to the Heat.

“I played pretty solid,” Gortman told Mavs.com. “I got to the rim, I got in the paint, I got some open threes from getting into the paint, and I played pretty fast in transition and really pushed the pace on offense.
