In its 15-year anniversary of the MGM Resorts NBA Summer League, day one of the festivities did not disappoint. The event included everything from a star-studded crowd in attendance to see No. 1 overall pick Zion Williamson as well as No. 3 overall pick and former Duke teammate RJ Barrett “dance” in their pro debuts.
More importantly, the day also saw the initial appearance of Chicago first round pick Coby White and featured earth rattling dunks, quite literally.
Philadelphia def. Milwaukee 107-106
The opening game set the tone for what would be an eventful day at the Thomas & Mack Center.
