The First Round of the NBA Playoffs will officially conclude tonight as the Houston Rockets and Oklahoma City Thunder square off in a game seven. There are no former Syracuse Orange men’s basketball players in that game, but Jerami Grant did advance to the Western Conference semifinals as his Denver Nuggets just escaped the Utah Jazz in a game seven of their own last night.
With that known, we recap the first round of the NBA Playoffs for former Syracuse basketball players. Three have advanced to the conference semis.
