The start of the Washington Wizards’ first summer game experienced a lengthy delay after arguably the greatest NBA Summer League game of all time as the Kings-Magic tilt entered sudden death double overtime.
Their game against the Detroit Pistons didn’t live up to that same level of excitement. But it did feature a massive comeback attempt that came up short in a 105-99 loss.
The headline going into the contest was the Jaden Ivey vs. Johnny Davis matchup, which the Pistons rookie won in just five minutes of on-court action.
Ivey was electric to start, pouring in 11 points and a highlight reel’s worth of plays in his limited stint on the floor before suffering an ankle injury after a flagrant foul on Isaiah Todd.
