Duke basketball guard Cassius Stanley (Rob Kinnan-USA TODAY Sports)
A former Duke basketball aircraft relished some unoccupied Nevada airspace.
Second-year professional Cassius Stanley took control of the runway on Monday, two days before his 22nd birthday. The high-flying guard did so while donning No. 2, of course, the same number he so often soared in as a 2019-20 Duke basketball one-and-done.
During one trip back down to dry land at the Las Vegas NBA Summer League, Stanley delivered two points to his Indiana Pacers via a vicious dunk that put the nail in the coffin of an eventual 74-65 win over the Washington Wizards.
