Terence Davis’ first action in an NBA jersey was briefly postponed after the Denver Nuggets’ opening Summer League game was canceled due to an earthquake, but he showed no hesitation in his impressive debut two days later.
The former Rebel put up 22 points, five rebounds and three assists in an 84-79 win over the Orlando Magic on Sunday, turning the heads of the Las Vegas crowd, including NBA Commissioner Adam Silver.
“He was awesome,” Nuggets Summer League head coach Jordi Fernandez said after the game. “I’ve said it from day one, he’s an NBA player. He proved it today and I think he’ll keep doing it because this kid is mentally tough.
