Thornwell rises above the rest in NBA debut

South Carolina basketball great Sindarius Thornwell scored 26 points Friday night in his NBA debut, a Summer League victory for the Los Angeles Clippers over the Lakers.

The Clippers won 96-93 in overtime, with Thornwell starting at guard, shooting 6-of-13 from the field and 14-of-18 at the free throw line. He added five rebounds and two steals.

Fellow Gamecock P.J. Dozier, a free agent signee of the Lakers, did not play.
