The San Antonio Spurs trio of Simmons, Kyle Anderson, and Bryn Forbes have been playing lights out for the summer league squad in Utah.
San Antonio is now 2-0 after defeating the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday. The talk of the day was the play of Simmons. Simmons scored a Utah Summer League-record 35 points as the Spurs withstood a furious fourth-quarter rally to edge the Sixers, 95-91. Simmons was 13 of 18 from the field with seven rebounds, five assists and two steals but he also committed nine turnovers.
Simmons ball handling has been an achilles heel for him during the first two games in summer league.
