The Philadelphia 76ers and Los Angeles Clippers are presumably going to be linked all summer by virtue of James Harden’s trade request. Today, they’ll link up on the court as their Summer League squads square off out in Vegas. Winner gets Terance Mann?
The Summer Sixers lost a nail biter yesterday to Atlanta, 99-98. After sitting out one game, Jaden Springer looked outstanding in his return to action, dropping an efficient 29 points that included a pair of threes and an 11-of-11 line at the charity stripe. Nick Nurse has to be envisioning the role he’ll carve out for Springer in the rotation based upon what he has seen from the 20-year-old in Vegas.
