Ex-Syracuse basketball forward Chris McCullough had a rough night in NBA summer league debut

Syracuse, N.Y. -- In his first game with the Philadelphia 76ers in the NBA's Las Vegas Summer League, Chris McCullough had a rough night.

McCullough started at center for the 76ers against the Boston Celtics on Friday at UNLV's Thomas & Mack Center.

However, he failed to score a point in 12 minutes of action as the Sixers suffered a 95-89 loss to the Celtics. McCullough missed all six of his field goal attempts, including one 3-point shot.

McCullough is facing a crucial summer in his NBA career. He left Syracuse after the 2014-15 season despite playing in just 16 games.
