NBA’s summer season starts on Saturday in Orlando

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) It’s impossible to know what to expect from Markelle Fultz’s first taste of NBA games.

Karl-Anthony Towns was too nervous and committed nine fouls. Ben Simmons missed the majority of his shots and had cramps in both legs.

And now it’s Fultz’s turn.
