Isaiah Miles is capitalizing on his second Summer League opportunity with the Philadelphia 76ers. Philadelphia entered Summer League tournament play as the 30th seed and Miles paced the Sixers with 20 points and six rebounds in a 88-86 win over third-seeded Phoenix Thursday. Teaming with 40-point man Furkan Korkmaz, the two wings collectively scored 38 points to engender a spirited come-from-behind win.
Miles, 24, propelled Philadelphia offensively with his fervid catch-and-shoot ability. The Saint Joseph’s product finished 6-of-8 from downtown and provided Philadelphia’s guards with a passing outlet. Miles shot just 1-for-6 from deep in his prior two games and his timely offensive breakout will be cemented in Sixers Summer League lore.
