LAS VEGAS — The earthquake may have been the best part of RJ Barrett’s opening NBA night.
The game being called in the fourth quarter amid precautionary concerns about the swaying scoreboard overshadowed Barrett’s dud-of-a-debut.
Forcing many attempts, the lefty Duke product shot 4-for-18 — 1-for-8 from beyond the 3-point stripe — to tally 10 points.
Barrett admitted that “some guys got kind of tired I guess,” and maybe that had something to do with his poor shooting. But he made no other excuse.
“I’ve been working hard all summer, getting in great shape,’’ Barrett said following Saturday’s practice.
