After suiting up with the Utah Jazz for Las Vegas Summer League, Travis Leslie figured it would probably be awhile before he crossed paths with the organization again.
So it was with a bit of surprise when he signed with the Sydney Kings in August that he learned the team’s final exhibition before the season would come in Salt Lake City.
“I never thought this would happen: an NBA team playing an NBL team,” he said. “It’s a crazy coincidence how it happened.”
A former Georgia standout, Leslie, 27, has been around, most recently in the D-League last year before moving Down Under.
