ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) It wasn’t quite the week Johnathan Motley hoped to have during the Orlando Pro Summer League.
The Dallas Mavericks had more than enough capable player, making it hard for the undrafted rookie – limited by a healing knee injury – to get minutes. But with several key players already off to the Las Vegas Summer League on Thursday, Motely got his most expansive playing time and made quite an impression.
Motley had 18 points and 10 rebounds and hit a touch jumper in the lane to give undefeated Dallas an 83-81 overtime victory over the Detroit Pistons in the championship game.
