Svi Mykhailiuk puts up 15 points in NBA summer debut; Newman has minor injury

Second-round draft pick Svi Mykhailiuk of Kansas cashed three three-pointers in six tries and scored 15 points in his first appearance with the Los Angeles Lakers — a 98-93 California Classic loss to the Sacramento Kings on Monday night in Sacramento, Calif.

The 6-foot-8 former Kansas wing — he was selected 47th overall in the 60-player NBA Draft — hit six of 10 shots overall in 23 minutes. He had no assists and no rebounds.

“It was all right. It was cool,” Mykhailiuk told reporters after the game, when asked about the boos he heard from the pro-Kings crowd.
