Keep going have a conversation on Zack Edy taking a look each other in the eyes a lot of shot is in the house of course in the house was playing in these summer league games here he and is playing summer league ball and we’re underway last game of the night glad you’re joining us some late night hoops here in Las Vegas wrapping up day three’s first look against contact at the basket to our left where they had a little uh shift change on the net before that they’re going to That’s funny cuz I didn’t think a lot of shots were made. They were in the house. Got a pretty good grip there. Pretty good knock on the shoulder on the dude was a good player. And he’s trying to form the summer league Blazers like they’re reforming the big team Portland Trailblazers. We saw last night in their win over Golden State. By the way, they won by 33 points. As you look at the new twine is they’re going to play up tempo and maybe before that they’re going to play defense and then play up tempo. on the floor and pick up the middle of the floor. They wings open our first turnover by Jamaican number 11 white here in the summer league. An athletic ability of young he in the middle of the floor. China at a young age spent the last two years in the Chinese basketball association. rising star of the year the last two years together let’s get good pass by game right now on the offensive end at a young age spent the last two years in the Chinese basketball association the rising star of the year the last two right there. That’s the first game. He goes, “Let’s get after these people.” Memphis. There’s a look at Thomas of course from the left. Tyler Burton getting a start tonight. He’s the only head coach who is also head coaching the summer league team of course took over late in the season when Taylor Jenkins was relieved of his duties a match up to watch the floor out of an absolute mess and we go to Memphis. There’s a look of course our mind overseas was a coach of the year in the league in Germany also coached in Paris and was in his first year as an assistant in getting involved but the possession stays with Portland a really creative offensive coaching terrifending that time. Armando at North Carolina. There you go. Already getting involved, but the possession stays with the open court. Love Caleb. Experienced player had two terrific seasons at Arizona. None given Caleb Love already get called with the Blazers a little Thompson. There’s the pass shot ready against Memphis. Great speed coaching the Portland Trailblazers summer league team as an assistant and on Long Island. Jaylen Wells wanted the whistle. None given. Caleb Love already has inked a two-way contract with the Blazers. A little floor to the Celtics yesterday. Ronnie Barrell is coaching the Portland Trailers summer league team. Did a nice job as an assistant. And on Long Island, he was named GL coach of the year just a couple years ago. maybe the discipline that you need to really make it your sleep a lot. Speaking about lost to the Celtics yesterday in their summer league debut. This is Sissoko. This dude just competes. Nice pass behind the back out to the wing to his right by James player at Yukon. He just gets it, you know, has all kinds of lack maybe that you need to really defend. Spencer has a grit about it. His brother who’s with Golden State is one of his looked to his right. The ball got the foul by knocked down the triple. He just gets out of lacrosse lead. It’s an unbelievable story, right? Off the defense, jumps up, knocks Spencer has a grit about him and his brother was with Golden State was one of the greatest I had players practice in recent history. He’s the Heisman winner. He is the perfect Pat Spencer as competitive. Pretty remarkable story. It’s an unbelievable. It’s an unbelievable story. He could be able one of the best, right? He won the award went for an extra year at Western for the Blazers there and then worked his way through to the Golden State Warriors on their bench. I had chance to watch Yukon practice a bunch with Cam Spencer. He is the perfect Danny Hurley player. because he’s competitive and focused North Carolina. He could be a backto- back champ with Yukon Spencer who was dealt with the injuries last year looking healthy and Sissoko looking strong there in the back court [Applause] basketball. Yeah, Chinese basketball rebound. He basically juggled up the floor in season and North Carolina that guy had an incredible year at North Carolina [Music] from the field. A big to play through called for the high that was a European game right now for Memphis. Was it a Chinese basketball? Yeah, Chinese basketball. But I mean like the lefty basically just stops. He turns a little bit at Virginia Tech. Blazers have opened five for five from the field. Grizzlies make a few changes. This is Aaron Estrada in the game right now. Ball handling for Memphis. DJ Cart played for Marquette Estrada. A lefty missing from the free throw line. Rebounded fewaches by Shan Padulla time at Virginia Tech at Old Miss and they found ways to be very successful that way. Buy a score for this game. These coaches are going down low to DJ. Line changes in playing a little faster. We know this guy Jaylen Wells no good on that end. Offensive rebounding is fouled. one of the few coaches in the country that has to recruit. They found ways to get a paint touch for this game. These coaches are going up and down their lineup. Hockey line changes in and out playing a little faster. We know this guy Jaylen Wells. No good on that end. Offensive rebound. Lovering is foul. NBA 2K26 Summer League is proudly sponsored by NBA. [Music] We’re here for everyone. And I help people save hundreds by customizing car insurance. We ordered a limo. We do that, too. NBA 2K26 is proudly sponsored by club. What are you looking for out of that? You guys are up 29 points, I think, on a lot of points. So, you know, how do you view kind of the opportunity for them to get comfortable situation we might need them to be in, you know, for us this season. So I’m always confident to see them continue to grow play hard to be very vocal, you know, to guys be in your shoes, you know. So you guys obviously were swept out of the first round. You had the hip injury and you guys are up what 29 summer game. How do you view kind of the competition level for next year and your guys? Thank you. I’m always confident in that. my mind my mindset now just to make sure I’m out there and available I feel like you know when I’m out there on the floor you know you got opportunity virt and what’s left for you the rest of the summer you already in the lab working your game already in the lab we’ll see the John app thank you Dave was They they only had 15 last year. They’re locking down extension and Thomas is question their summer league coach here with moonlighting in that department as well. Here’s a look 48 games. The West was so competitive that there were teams in the play in games that had 48 wins. And Dave was right. They they got blown out the first two games and Oklahoma City had a 29point lead in game three before OKC came back and now John Moran tries to get healthy. The question is who will take that extra spot with Desmond Bane now off to Orlando. I think that’s the biggest question [Music] coming off a year where he wasn’t ready in terms of there’s going to be opportunities for someone else who will Jacksonly absolutely not here who’s rehabing their first round is a freakish athlete with tough The guy started inision scored to Washington became a lottery. Yeah. Desmond shot maker who had a lot of things went out in a lot of different places. They’re going to need some guys to step up a couple years ago with his own last year. In fact, tonight we’re not told because of missing scorers last year. Top two obviously coming back with John Mor Jackson Jr. Desmond Bane off an elite shot who had a lot of different responsibil Jun I thought had a really solid season and has great upides. He’s got a really good feel for the game he can play and score. He certainly showed some pieces. It’s hard to play that probably from Spain to a threeyear million contract. Zack Ed sitting courtside right now. There were some who were wondering if his transition basketball to the NBA, not only how smart it would be, just how it would be. And he certainly showed some of those naysayers last year. It’s hard to game plan for just his size. Any dribble penetration might think about get in the lane rotation. He’s got really good hands. His ability to change the team as his college career rookie lover will have a chance at another three-point play. No one else in the league and that makes him a tough match up. Sneak inside to enhance the food. The West is just like hot dogs. You think of a team like San Antonio. They got 10 spots. Seven through 10 is going to be tough again in the West next year. Rookie Lawson Lovering will have a chance at another three-point play. Time out here in Las Vegas. The mission. Sneak inside. Give out Pepsi to enhance the food’s flavor. Uh to Will and Diane, you go together like Pepsi and hot dogs. We had someone barreling right at us ducking behind me. I tried. He saved you, but I was I was on the wrong side. That was really impressive. I’m not as good as I expected to be for one of the great Syracuse alums of all time, but I mean by still got the three. He still got the three and the other passion for others right barreling right at us. You were ducking behind me. I tried to save you but I was I was on the wrong side. Played zone for a reason. Back in the first round looking has the ball right now for Portland. Shot missed by step down the lane. Couldn’t finish. And now Memphis on the floor lovering in the big man. Oh the good cut. Couldn’t finish. Lovering’s been at the right place that time on the ball. Young Hansen back in the first round rookie has the ball right now for Portland. Little Euro step down the lane. Couldn’t finish. And now Memphis has numbers. Work for Young as much here in this first quarter, but this is the spot in the right place at the right middle of the floor. He’s not rolling down to post. He’s getting his post ups on back downs from the middle of the floor, but he’s he’s a playmaker in the middle of the floor. Free fan perks. That’s a win with NBA. Get exclusive merch. He didn’t work through Young as much in this first quarter, but this is the spot where he worked right on the top. Right in the shoot. I call it the shoot. That that that middle third of the floor like he’s not rolling down to post. He’s getting his post ups on back. He’s a playmaker in the middle of the floor. They te with NBA ID exclusive merch deals chances to meet NBA legend all summer long/ ID or in the NBA app sticking around watching our night cap Hson yesterday that one didn’t get a bang wide right there’s the hit ahead run the floor Good job of Spencer looking up the floor. Doubles, rebounds, games in the summer last season G- League numbers from last year. Hson uh show a little range. He banked one in yesterday. That one didn’t get a bang. What an incredible. There’s the hit ahead. Incredible. Good job running the floor by all time leader in double doubles rebounds games played for the Jazz in the summer league last season they see his G-League numbers from last year with the Memphis hustle what an incredible incredible think about the record set he holds at the University of North Carolina a few good players there the consistency of how he played and how hard he played and ability to rebound the ball. Final 35 seconds of our opening quarter. Guitar heels to championship game 22 in five seasons in Chapel Hill. Really good execution higher seal and the catch. Celebrated his 20th birthday on draft night. He’s got great hands. Final 35 seconds of our opening quarter. Eagles of the Chinese basketball association. There he gets out of the block. Really good execution. High ball to the corner. He gets the seal. Defend down catches. Good finishes in the paint for the lasers of the Chinese basketball association. They do something others. They’ve spent a lot of time in China. A little different than Cllingon, but watch it. There’s going to be He just defend two catches. Good finish in the paint. And that’ll do it for Trailblazers all tied. They knew something. Others didn’t. They spent a lot of time with a four in China checking out Young Hansen to the tune of a couple of years. two summer final shots here at the end of the first quarter. What are you doing crunching numbers on every NBA match up? But with the NBA app, you get real time stats and highlights while you watch all season long. We’re talking exciting plays, buzzer beers, and behind the scenes access to the league’s brightest star, all season, all free. Two summer sensations are flying into DQ. One is I think we’re doing a good job on them right now. What can you learn from playing along guys [Music] from everybody here soak it all from this experience here the pride of I’m sorry Wyoming coming up with eight points off the bench for Memphis and he can also step out shoot the three. He’s done a good job of running the floor and finishing around the basket, but he does have the ability to step out 40% from freeland last season out of bounds coming. Began his career with Utah, I’m sorry, with Colorado. Finished it up with Utah after a four-point first. You can see both coaches going deep into their rotation. an opportunity. Demetro Capins in the game for Brian Justin on the perimeter. Side out of bounds coming. Jaylen Wells on the bench to open up this second quarter. Matador after a four-point first quarter. You can see both coaches going deep into their rotations, giving a lot of different guys an opportunity. Good slip right there. Well, good find of Justin McCoy. have one of many Portland team that played for their G-League out Cal State Northridge Matador had a small 71 body on the floor tonight a couple games from Bott fouled by Scapins back to the free throw line one of many rookies on this Portland team that played for their GLV ESPN small cup of coffee with the Knicks couple of years ago and then the Bucks Clippers will wrap it up at 9 back at the free throw line and his free throw unties the game. As we remind you, summer league action continues tomorrow on NBA TV ESPN, the ESPN app. It all starts 3:30 Eastern with the Hawks and the Suns, Nick Celtics, followed by Miami and Cleveland, and then the Bucks and Flippers will wrap it up at 9:30 Eastern time. I think it’s really interesting, Mike Brown coming in the week, starting to immerse himself in watching the young players that are playing in the summer league, but also probably use that time here to visit with his current team and one championship. A lot of guys will make their way to Davis to be in right over a team that went to the Eastern Conference Finals, but in many ways permanently tag insert coached the San Antonio Spurs for seven games as an assistant early in his career and head coach. There’s the head coach of the Memphis Grizzlies. They took off the interim tag after the season concluded. A look at the new coach of Mitch Johnson essentially coached the San Antonio Spurs for 70 plus games. Greg Papovic retiring from the head coaching role among the new NBA head coaches coming this fall. Demetro with the three-pointer. He is very comfortable up in the corner. But the interesting thing is the number of changes towards his contract end of the seasonarkable championship coach relief late in the season. It’s almost mindboggling. It’s kind of a risk and reward type of situation so late in the season to try to either jumpart your team or ownership. That’s one thing about ownership. You sign a coach to contract, you’ve got to honor a contract, but you have the ability to make the decisions you want. as the coaches are at the mercy of the people that are employing them. It’s remarkable. Michael Malone team that went and took the eventual defending champs to a seven in round two. Taylor Jenkins done a terrific job in Memphis. They ended up through the play as the eight seed and got knocked out by Oklahoma City. Now in summer league an opportunity for not only to run his team through it but some of the young players some of the really good young players through that Spencer at the free throw line. He’s tired. I also think kind of trying to put system in place in place against wins that battle. So valuable. What is he trying to do here? Jones missing the three butress Fleming able to get an opportunity. the rookie from Florida, undrafted rookie back in 2022, an NBA rookie, but he’s been laying around Germany and France three maybe four games and then you start seeing those experiences are so valuable. What is he trying to do here? Probably doesn’t he’s not playing for a roster spot. What he’s doing is playing to get an opportunity to play at a higher level and get a better contract. That’s what we’ll see over the coming days of summer is some of the high drafts play two, three, maybe four games and then we’ll start seeing other guys get showcase and it is a showcase event. I was scanning through the uh media guy. I just wanted to make sure that Thomas Eel was the only NBA coach that was coaching a summer league team. They’re like, “Oh, Billy Donovan’s coaching the Bulls.” brought Billy Donovan which is such a cool thing [Music] too that experience that we see a lot of coaching Richard lead growing up in the game feels like it’s after such a younger age. Well, Dave Ad now the head coach of the Denver Nuggets Fleming played four seasons at Charleston Southern Memphis has opened up a six-point leader of the year and a guy who can make a shot getting it after defensively here so far tonight for these players. This is a stage that a unique stage could play on their play four seasons at Charleston Southern two time first team south and a defensive player of the year and a guy who can make a shot and competitive and this is the great thing about the summer for these for these players and it’s hard this is a stage a unique stage to play different audience uh are basically people that are going to control their destiny and their career Whe from many of the fans and it’s hard the transition to play overseas in a different environment, a different language, a different culture. Uh it’s a first of all the money is not the same. You earn your money like the NBA. It’s a futures market. He tried to reach for the basketball and that might be a flagrant as a call from many of the fans here as Lawson Leick waste of young Hansen on that drive. Both getting up slow, but that didn’t appear to be a basketball play down the stretch coming. You know, this is kind of inverse of what you just mentioned. Guys that have to go overseas. He tried and then using the language at all by all accounts has an unbelievable personality. They’ve really enjoyed the Blazers their time so far with Young Hans. I watched their practice free throws coming. You know, this is kind of inverse of what you just mentioned, guys overseas. Here’s a guy who’s trying to get used to the American culture. Doesn’t speak the language at all. Uh he is working on it and by all accounts has an unbelievable personality. They’ve really enjoyed lasers their time so far with young. I watched their practice yesterday and it was really interesting like as coach was talking arm around a guy and they had to wait for a second for the interpreter then to communicate to him what he wanted to do but I have you also watch the interaction understanding the language. He was still interacting with his teammates international basketball. Yeah. It was really interesting like pointing and questioning putting armor out a guy understands kind of Have you worked overseas where you’re coaching and you need a little translated help? I have. My brother’s made a career coaching overseas. How does that work for him? Usually you have a member on your staff that is like basketball sometimes very understand [Music] English foreign sometimes may not speak English very well here in Las Vegas as well that will help him feeling a little bit like 539 to go here in the first terminology that sometimes is not so may not speak English very well but he’s got some fans here in Las Vegas as well any for just $9.99 Get extra without paying extra. Domino’s best deal ever is back because we know you love to get the most out of your pizza by getting the most on your pizza. Get any hand toss. Saturday night in Vegas here at Thomas Center featuring the Memphis Grizzlies and the Portland Trailblazers. Yeah, don’t give up that basketball. I got a lot of signatures on that ball. That’s one of the best parts coming everywhere, especially when you’re that age. Oh, it’s unbelievable. I know the dad that we need to see. This will be on Sports Center. There’s no doubt about it. Tell you what, he’s got he’s got an incredible foot, but he’s also graceful and a little bit that’s explosive and physical with force. Foul off the ball is an offensive foul taken by cityok on sports center. There’s no doubt about it. He’s got he’s got incredible footwork. There’s also a little bit that’s explosive physical so much better in this area here. Look at this pass. I’m watching this play and I’m I’m sitting down. That is terrific right there. Great pass by also like what’s going through his mind and the field. He’s so much better in this area. They got a little new energy about him right now. drops it down. How about those ter there’s the hook pass by night. Really good job understanding floor. I mean like he had the ball and he read it and made the right play. How about how about just the ball movement and how about like he just sticks and he sees the following. Well, there’s the there’s the hook pass from a good job understanding. I mean, like he had the ball. He was hold [Applause] [Music] good plays by book as well. He’s going to be a fan favorite. [Applause] His poise and his ability to read the defense. This is just really shown it through a couple of days so far in Las Vegas. He reads it. He sees the trail and then book night swings it kicks it to the outside to severe black rises gets in the way. makes the pass and then does a nice but thanks to Sky Risky I’m free of my poise and his ability to read the defense shown it through a couple of days so far in Las Vegas timeout with Sky Rzzy I sometimes severe plaques rise many 100% plaque free but thanks to just four doses a year for two starter doses don’t use allergic serious allergic reaction increased infection or ability to fight that may occur before treatment to check for infection and TB. Tell your doctor about any flu like symptoms. With Skyrizy, I saw dramatically clearer skin and many people were 100% black free. Sky is with eight points as well. Forget about it. hard roll catch and finish when he has the ball in the middle of the or playing out of the middle not stop moving eight points. They know Chanty Bill with eight points as well. Three-point play. Jaylen Wells back on the floor for Memphis. Missing there coming away with a nice hustle by Nate Hint Hinton. That ball does not stop moving. They know Chanty Phillips is in the Portland Trailblazers in attendance tonight at Thomas Center. Watch Memphis coming away with a nice hustle by 83 last night. Five coming up already for a former ESPN team. Yeah, great communic [Music] watched his summer league team win by 33 last night former ESPN terility. He has a really clear vision on how he wants the elbow, but he can play. I think it’s it’s post flipping a style of play in terms of aggressive aggressive aggressive offensility. run and a timeout line that plays fast, has a lot of agility and a lot of ability for here to help you save hundreds by customizing your car insurance with Liberty Mutual. Probably should have done the other three that stops 10 nothing run and a timeout with the Blazers lead down to one. A car that doesn’t make everyone feel like a priority is a car that stops Help me. Watch how he reacts. He can’t say it in English. He can’t say, but he can also communicate. Finish your cut. Cut hard. And that’s exactly the way they’re going to have to learn to communicate and connecting. There’s a way of communicating here in Las Vegas. these two teams and Memphis kind of tied at the hip on draft night because the Portland traded the rights to Cedric from Coward to Memphis and the Grizzlies use that pick at 16 at 7 and impressing folks here in Las Vegas early on. 320 to go in this first half on the floor right now and his Blazers with a one-point lead with credit on that one. If I heard his lips right there and city also on the floor a very international flavor for this Portland team with himself he’s not happy with the height of that pass the system they have in place with this game credit on that one if I’ve heard his lips right I think he’s learning some English personnel it’s English gives a lot of different ways to communicate wide for himself. He was not happy with the height of that pass. His former North Carolina teammate with the rebound system they have in place for summer league with this team when he’s in the game. Well, is actually fits their personel will get a couple of free throws out of it. Wide open look for Caleb Love. Former 35yd thing you’ve noticed about young Hansen as well is He’s really trying to catch his breath here. Back to back. A lot of energy. I agree with that. Spencer and Bop will get a couple of free throws out of it. I mean, this is just a totally the speed of this game compared to what he’s used to playing. It’s 35 left in the half. Low scoring first half. One thing I’ve noticed about Young Hansen as well is really trying to catch his breath here. Back to back games for him. A lot of I agree with you there. Conditioning is obviously going to be a huge factor. This is just a totally the speed of this game compared to what he’s used to playing. It’s two different worlds, especially the way trail players are trying to play the game right now. Good point. It’s up tempo and fast. And a reminder, our next WNBA game is tomorrow afternoon. ABC ESPN plus Clark Bevern way to put it exactly fast [Music] at a great assignment down to the Trailblazers head coach Ronnie for two nights so far from Portland [Music] That’s a great way to put it. Exactly what I was thinking. He absolutely got his feet underneath him. He’s playing with a great pace. One hard dribble gets it underneath. And watch these guys down in the extra possession or foul was called from the taking on three Grizzlies. Watch the boys that Karen Love is playing with. Just a really good base. One hard dribble gets it underneath. And then watch these guys down to the final 140 of this trying to wedge rebound. Burton who got the start of Villanova just can’t start at Richmond. Love taking on three Grizzlies. the first player of the conference, right? Richmond and now Portland will take a timeout down to the final 140 in this first half who got the start. Tyler Burton out of Villanova. Good looking runner that time. Started at Richmond. You can fit a lot of vacation into a weekend. Richmond and now Portland will take your next weekend. Back and forth we go in this first half. Grizzlies right now with a one-point lead. Hard got me shredded. It’s time. after the game as opposed to just he kind of settled in as well. His decision making was shot. He got to the line. He rebounded the basketball. Uh and and that’s what this thing’s all about. I’m not excited for the field. He scored 31 points. I’m more excited because he showed a greater comfort and rhythm to the game as opposed to just flag ball in a 40minute game. That would be good for count as Cameron Tyson knocks down the triple. Another guy played for the Rip City remix last year. Cooper flag likes ball simple play. He likes to play and he’s not a guy that’s going to want to be shut down career. That would be good sign for fans who still want to see him play if they’re holding tickets down the road. Scoring record in this high school triple hand at Seattle University here in Las Vegas. Tyson, by the way, has the breaker up in Seattle. The all time broken spot up right there. Legend at Seattle University having himself a nice little second quarter here in Las Vegas. Blazers taking a five-point leader for doing a nice job coming off the dribble handoff. shot. Ready gets behind the ball, jumps up and knocks it down and then finds one in the corner right there. Trailblazers who were 36 and 46 years ago, a lot of this team was dealt to Boston and that Drew Holiday deal was bought out now a member of the Los Angeles Lakers. But they got 19 of them. I have to say as we check out the Portland Trailblazers who were 36 and 46 years ago. A lot of change for this team. Anthony Simons was del a member of the Los Angeles Lakers. But they’ve got some really good young players. I would say in January down the stretch of the season that was a team that you had to check out. They work and now he’s going to stay in the league tomorrow. That guy is a two-way target there. But he is another guy doing a lot of different [Music] ways and now he’s going to stay in the league. He’s going to be a rotation player in the NBA, a two-way player. Shot 40 almost 39% 7% from the three-point line. But he is an elite elite defense for allbody. Can he take a step forward? [Music] Look, they’ve got it’s still not going to be an easy road for them, especially in the West. We mentioned Drew Holiday coming over. It’s going to be terrific for all the guards, whether it be Shane Sharp, but Scoot Henderson, too. And very important. take a step forward. He’s playing for the right coach, but he he’s got to figure out a way to quite system. You can’t play the play. You know, in the NBA, you play two games. But if you want to be a winning team for the playoffs, you got to play winning basketball every single night. He’s playing for the right [Music] number on the shot clock. Um he’s expecting himself to have a really good second coming up. Jeremy Grant will be on that line as well for Portland. Final 30 seconds of the first half. Late missed by that shot. He’s not as [Music] a little but that didn’t count. No shot at least under 36 shot right there. But Portland has now got to get a little lower. Maybe even face, but show us some range. That didn’t count. What are you doing? Crunching numbers on every But with the NBA app, you get real time stats and highlights while you watch all season long. We’re talking exciting plays, buzzer beers, and behind the scenes access to the league’s brightest stars. in the draft, you know, even just being in Dallas and, you know, seeing the fan base there. It’s been, you know, crazy amount of love and support. So, you know, with Cooper Black, the number one overall draft pick by the Dallas Maverick since arriving here in Vegas, people, I’m sure it even definitely been crazy. Um, you know, even just being in Dallas and, you know, seeing the fan base there, you know, crazy amount of love and support. So, you know, you know, just blessed, you know, have that type of support and whatnot. People wanting your autograph, wanting pictures. Kyrie and a lot of the Mavs roster guys were here to watch you guys. He said that Thomas and M atmosphere was electric in your first game. He said it’s a number been in the league for what’s it going to be like for you learning from not just an incredible player like Kyrie but a guy who’s been in your shoes. He’s experienced the expectations that come with being the number one overall pick. Jason said that I’m in an incredible to you out of your comfort zone being able to learn from those type of guys, you know, Kyrie you about those kind of challenges during summer those type of guys that have, you know, been through and been in the league for a really long time and have experienced winning, you know, at the highest level. It’s something that um, you know, I’m just going to be really grateful for. I feel really blessed that I had this opportunity. Jason said that push you out of your head, put you in uncomfortable situations, bringing the ball up, running point. What excites you about those kind of challenges during summer? Yeah, it’s exciting. Obviously, I haven’t done that as much. So, I think you know that pressure and trying those new things will be good for my game and contribute. I think I’ll get more comfortable with it as we kind of play more and more and then, you know, coach, you know, that’s what he wants me to do. Just getting comfortable doing that. Do you look ahead to this season? What kind of goals do you set for yourself as a rookie and helping this team? Yeah, I think, you know, personally, I want to obviously be rookie of the I think that’s, you know, a standard one a lot of rookies want to do. But other than that, you know, I just want to contribute, you know, contribute to winning at a high level. Um, we have a really good team, a really deep team. So, you know, whatever way I can contribute in, you know, just be myself and get better every single day. I think if I do that, um, it’ll be a really successful year. We wish you the best. A large touchreen. Thank you. Keeps everyone happy. The Subaru Cross Track, dog tested, dog approved. When Superman is off saving the day, DQ is here with a $7 meal deal.

Some people just know they can save hundreds. of your trip to the number one pick in the draft in the books and same for the Portland Dave McMer [Music] I think exploits already going viral right there really. He’s got terrific hands really got a really good feel right there. Both of these teams are playing the right way for each other at a high level. I think both happy solid as Memphis. Both of these teams are playing the game the right way. Sharing the ball, making plays for each other, competing at a high level. A lot of guys getting involved in the game. off the bench. I think both coach probably very happy with the way their teams are playing. Young Hans eight points for Portland City leads that score with nine points to lead all Memphis scores and Lawson who was on the unfortunate end of the poster from Young Hans did deliver eight points off the bench for Memphis. three-pointer to open up this third quarter. Second season was a second round pick for the Blazers a year ago at number 43. And Spencer gets a nice roll to open up quarter number three. Just has a feel of how to play. I mean, you know, he he doesn’t do a lot that he can’t. does a lot that basically the defense gives biggest [Music] Cam Spencer had a night with J. It was December 2nd he was 12 for 15. How about that jaw got started at Lyola finished biggest lead right now for Portland as they continue the stretch they finish the second quarter before missing from outside that one a little more online than the first attempt spats are always on balance under control 27% in the Chinese basketball that’s I think that’s Caleb love if I’m not mistaken I just got pump faked there that’s all right Caleb love with You’re allowed to get knocked off your feet. Let’s see if Yan could add to his viral nature missing from outside. A little more online than the first attempt earlier. Shot at 27% from three in the Chinese basketball. Really like both teams picking up in the back court. Bay’s been active. basically just disrupting a little bit of the rhythm of their opponent’s cont. What an outstanding year for the postseason NBA talking about that. I really like both teams back in basically just disrupting a little bit of the rhythm of their opponent’s offense. Pushing them out a step further deeper into the clock which I really like. saw a lot of that. What an outstanding year for both fans in Portland. You got to watch every game. He’s already becoming a fan. The intensity of the games, the physicality, the sense of urgency of the games, the preparation for the coaches and the players. Young rim for the bucket. Really solid. Las Vegas. He’s already got here in Vegas. He’s already called selectively aggressive. He’s got a very good way of being really efficient. This time it’s Sissoko with the steal. Loveing out the batting goes hard to the rim for the bucket. By the way, Bluff has been really really solid in both of these games. He’s playing aggressively. What I would call selectively aggressive for Tyler first time it’s Sissoko with the steal on the bench after he went for the dunk pocket pass which led to the short roll. Really good execution in half court offense instead. Blazers with the lead. He caught extra pass into the corner and the three-pointer’s good. passed on a team on the bench after the pocket pass which led to the short roll and one extra pass. Really good execution in the half court. Oh, look. I’m bottomless for 999 with the lead. That’s right. You can get in this third quarter and so much pass up basketball. Good spacing. A history of winning started. 65. Third quarter out of the timeouts that the third row rookie from Tennessee on Tar Hill terrific here throughout summer league. Really nice jump right there. Love transferred out to Arizona for his final two years. Mak was the final Tyson has his shot blocked out of bounds attemp rookie from Tennessee. Back is just a relentless competitor. Terrific defender scorer. Not a great three-point shooter, but he can really pick this year’s draft. I love the way Caleb loves playing. The game’s almost in slow motion to inside. [Music] He’s just a good basketball player there. Not a great three-point shooter, but he can really, he’s just a relentless competitor. I love the way that Caleb Love is played. The game has come so easy to him because the game’s almost in slow motion to him. Steal Burton on the 360 spin gets fouled. Last year in the Grizzlies summer league opening yesterday got a start. No good in summer on ESPN TV. ESPN the ESPN app. Suns and Hawks will get it started. Burton to the line for the Memphis on NBA TV followed by the Knicks and Celtics last year family 9:30 played at tomorrow night. First free throw no good. And summer league action continues tomorrow on ESPN the ESPN app. Suns and Hawks will get it started. 3:30 Eastern time on NBA TV followed by the Knicks and Celtics. Beat Cleveland Bucks Clippers to wrap it up 9:30 Eastern time tomorrow night. Speaking of the Bucks, I think the whole scenario of waiting to see what Giannis thinks is Turner enough. Who else can they bring on that conversation’s going to go for the summer? Another guy with a little bit of balance and force and physicality will play and the waiver allowing a little more ill cap space under the weather as well. Give him the continuation and one for the Memphis Grizzlies. He’s another guy that plays with a little bit of balance and force and physicality. signing a fouryear 107 million fun to see G. Yeah, Jackson ill start to summer league. They were really surprised that they didn’t get a chance to Turner going to Milwaukee to continue on that conversation signing the fouryear 107 million contract to leave Indiana. A little bit of a shock, right? I think just listening to Indiana talk. They were really smart because they didn’t get a chance to maybe counter or they thought they were good communication. It just, you know, again, you’re reading into it. That’s what it sounded like to me. Does his shot making open up the floor when he finished up in game seven against Indiana making nice play [Music] and one opportunity for Portland and cityoko that combo turner% this year not so much in the field in the final series making a nice play came over early that is a flamboyant finish playing in German a good way to put it decided to do a year in Portland last February. You may remember him there. Spent most of his first two seasons in the G League. Tried to impress the Portland Trailblazers. 66 from France. Another great French prospect. So, who came over? Yes. Was playing in uh Germany last year as well. Some time in Michigan. Very important summer league for him. Big body. Back has some skills walking to the other end. Like to see more out of sense of agency. Just under five minutes to go here in this third quarter. I can tell you very important summer for him. [Music] But has some skill. Just like to see more out of I have your back. I can tell you one thing that would have been great. [Music] Had some nasty intentions on that. He broke his wrist. Wells plays with a physicality maybe less than a week after that decision right there by like he he still had bandage and stitches and had the wrist all wrapped up and it’s great to see in health as Caleb was eyeing the rim and had some nasty intentions on that end. Wells plays with a physicality and a force. He’s not afraid of contact. This is a really nice decision right there he went to. You don’t see a lot of You’re right about 1000 point scorers. Well, you were thinking Sports Center. None of that. That was a big move. I mean, you’re talking about North Carolina getting there. You go to the championship game and then you decide to move on. Love really good. We pointed out a couple of times at both places he went to, you don’t see a lot of guys that are point and they do it in two years at Arizona. And that was a big move. I mean, you’re talking about you calling at North Carolina, you go to the championship game and then you decide to move onach system and possession. And he fit in seamlessly with Tommy Lloyd’s balls grab your hands. They have possession, right? That is accurate. Nice save by Clark and Portland’s going to get another possession out of it. Over and back. Was right on top of that. You say, “Well, the pass came all the way from the baseline out to the back court.” Working against the ball is grabbed with two hands. They have possession. Passes back to very patient. It’s really good ball movement. I mean, both of these teams have done a nice job of sharing the basketball and making good plays for each other. his first points of summer. Wells working against DJ’s lost to Boston by Tyler. Very patient set that time. That’s really good ball movement. I mean, both of these teams have done a nice job sharing basketball and making good ball movement right there. scoreless knock down the last night’s Grizzlies. When you share the basketball play, it’s amazing the quality of shot foul on the far side by the ball has to have energy. Two teams the ball in each side out of bounds. Really good ball movement right there. One more shot ready. Knocked out the jumper. When you share the basketball, play for each other, it’s amazing the quality shot you get. Another the ball has to have energy. Good teams, the ball has energy. Doesn’t get stuck. Tied up and a foul is going to be called defensive here in the last 60 seconds. And I like the energy that Here’s the first block. Good contest by Lover. Competitive. Those are the plays you want to see more of. I got a hand shot. I like the energy right now. Contest in transition. Good chase down by those like he he’s got a handle. He can make shots. He’s got a good defender. Got a good effort play. into a 11th pick of the draft in 2021 by Charlotte. Played for them for three seasons before being waved. Steel Fleming another block to Soo that time got a hand in the third. Sydney into the front court in between stepping into a three target out of bounds. With 253 to go here in the third quarter, Young Hansen, the young rookie of the Blazers, three points here in the third. [Music] Only down three. A chance for the tie.

[Music] Did you watch the NBA playoffs and see teams like Indiana OKCons to Boston for a guy who made teams and a champion in Drew? What do you think about game and how you guys can work together? This was very exciting about me. I’m very excited. I mean, I have an impact on defense and help a team win on defense. So on the team mental training every time for a guy who’s made multiple teams you guys think about game and how you guys you guys watch a lot of [Music] dete very nice in the first half. to see out of your young certainly what he’s done tonight. [Music] I think he’s just going to keep on thinking [Music] very nicely. We’ve been taking great and we just got to keep you guys wins last year. It’s a crowd in the Western Conference. You could probably say 13 14 time. What’s it going to take to move up to the top 10 next year? I think focusing on ourselves. I think we have other and the the process. I think we’ve been we’ve been taking a great stride and we just got to keep going the right way, the same direction and just yeah trusting the coaching staff and the program and all the confidence that they give us every day. I appreciate the time. Thanks really good at that as he mentioned terrific year defender. Another guy that’s late in the draft 57 evaluating such a big part of this and guys what did he do? He bought into a out of the final minute and he became really good at that and other parts of his game. Hans wants to back down with his 52 years under his belt 11 plus those 1.5 steals [Music] No good [Applause] to watch after it played good basketball. Nice pass down low with the bucket. I was going to say Jeremy Jones had a two-point game here with 30 seconds. This has been a well played game. This has been a fun game to watch. And the conversation with Dave McMan made it hard and played good basketball with Milwaukee and two game leadership. Let’s go big picture on Portland. We just heard from a young team like the conversation with David was about Drew Holiday who’s a twotime NBA champ won a championship with Milwaukee and with these guys how to be dealt with injury last year but just his defense leadership know you’re going to have a tough road trip exactly what Chanty Phillips needs with a young team like the Blazers 100% because you have to have a guy that can coach locker room you’re always good at your locker We need a guy with a young team to teach these guys how to be pros and how to prepare and how to get to the next play and how to deal with advers leadership. You go on the road know you’re going to have a tough road trip but bounce back and continue to grind. So that’s just the most underrated part of especially in the NBA season. If your game is going team is going south and you have a bad locker room there’s no chance to recover. But if you’ve got leadership to block, you have a chance to plug in. Jones might have hit it with his finger. Leadership on top of the team, finish strong. You see the green lights blinking over at the scorers table. They are in a Portland Trailblazers challenge on that out of bounds play on the far side. We’re going to take a look at it for the first time Jeremy Jones. [Music] Jones might have hit it with his looked like it might have changed direction. technology. It’s way above my favorite. You can find out using technology. You know who has that? The guys from Caltech. They’re actually we talked about the other night. Dave’s got that under control taking over. That’s interesting. Not every basketball, but some of them will have chips in them that have technology. It’s way above my pay. You can find out using technology. You know who has that? the guys from highlighted that the other night. Dave’s got that under control. Caltech’s taking over the broadcast. There’s a really good look. I don’t know if that ball changed much left hand of Jeremy Jones. I’m always wrong on these anyway, but the official replay center. You’re like inspector Cluso on this frame by frame here. Yeah. Look at the look at the direction of the ball. Right hand finger. That looks like it hits right there. You see the ball turn a little bit to the right. Indeed. I can tell you one thing. I’m always wrong on these anyway, but I feel like No, no, you’re right on that guess for me, but I see like on this one. We get the zoom in too. Yeah. Definitely. Look at the look at the direction of the ball. This is an aside. Is it just me? But like in crime television shows when they zoom in it gets clear. When I zoom which way they’re going to blazer I can tell you one thing. If I don’t have these glass I don’t have glasses on. It’s guess work for me. But I see the direction of that ball the spin of the ball out. Five and on these things which you right when I was review the challenge is successful. The ball will be overturned to Portland. They’ll get the ball out 6 seconds on the shot clock and 16 flat on the game clock. They’ll get an additional challenge [Music] today. I was I was never right when I was having conversations with officials when I was coaching. But now, you know, I figured it out, I guess. was that blocks for the third quarter. Fourth quarter dribble at the defender back drops to D. Come on finish and then rip it into nice competitive fourth quarter hopefully coming up final 10 minutes. He’s absolutely taking over the game. Watch right there. Dribble at the defender back to slush flavor bubbles. However you grill, this is the perfect one for you. [Music] Hey [Music] baby. [Music] tied the game right Nice [Music] job defensive keeping the ball in front. Keeping the ball in front is playing at a high high level right now. Quite a high level with pace. He’s playing with force, but he’s been selectively aggressive. And now has untied the game. We have 12 rookie stepped on the sideline. There’s a look at coach Phillips getting ready for 15 points tonight matching his out last night his summer league debut. Think about the tradition of Portland basketball [Music] watching in attendance. on the two contracts set it outside but Andrew Carr rookie stepped on the sideline coach Phillips getting ready for year number five Blazers team haven’t been season basketball too you know we just come off an Oklahoma City that was the second youngest team in a championship the 77 Dr. Jack Ramsey’s tape along the incredible fans, great tradition. They love their they love their Blazers. Perox did a terrific did coach versions of the Blazers over the years that that was a team that went to the Western Conference Finals Damen Lillard six years ago against recovering from his injury. How long do you think realistic let in every game got swept on very competitive did a terrific job there really good basketball him last night member of the Golden State staff now for a championship you think Damen Lillard’s going to do now that he’s going to be really interesting the stretch and recovering from his injury how long do you think realistically can he get healthy for next year’s playoff somewhere where he’s coming to where he could select a position that is competing for a championship that ability to do that potentially after the allar break that is from outside he’s guaranteed all that money over five years instead two years and now puts himself in a position right he can go wherever he wants It’s got to be hard chase down your familyship and I know ideally so I don’t I would be shocked if he coast little touch great family it’s got to be hard when you’re away from your family disconnected you see guys come back off I would be shocked if he didn’t end up on you know I think you’re right. I mean just a you talk about players easy to talk to smart that was was a roughly fun to watch soon guys come back off that injury maybe not in that age but again right here he’s had a term wave I think one of the things oh my goodness Oh, they’re not going to put it in the viral moment. You know what I love? with these players who say this man. You see the relationship he had with his coach his little circle going back to the Bay Area. Another shot that that’s how you talk about talk about how far out before you have to defend that team. Jimmy Butler would love it. Landing spots for Damian Oakland Warriors can find that magic butler shot Steph Curry again. Another shot. Talk about how far out the floor you’d have to defend that. Jimmy Butler would love it cuz that court would be spread with incredible range. That was fun. There was an All-Star game a few years ago. I think it was in Atlanta during the co All-Star game and there was never the Blazers like Curry were taking one step back. They’re beyond half court taking shots. There’s Lillard the season before last and look still a very competitive and productive player with incredible range. Jaylen Wells comes away with it for the Grizzlies. Two-point game here. Blazers with 739 to go. What 35 now spot right [Music] well comes away with it. take care of significantly younger than Chris Paul. It’s a great lesson for the young players. What 35 now? 40 years old. I didn’t want to hit the spot right if he’s still 38 to 39. Saw LeBron earlier today. But the point at the end of December guys just stay incredible shape into their mid and late 30. I was take care of the a couple years back I here for summer. It’s a great lesson for the young player who was staying at that point staying at the wing. You were right on the number one age Chris Paul without getting confirmation. LeBron was on the tread. Saw LeBron earlier today. I went for 45 minutes a little bit slower in the USA. I was a couple years back I like he was there for some 20 minutes that we were staying at. I mean it was incredibly gym to lock in focus on the treadmill and what he was trying to get. was tilted like straight up. I love he still and I I went for 45 minutes a little bit slower than US incline. She was there for like an hour and 20 minutes between I mean it was incredible to watch just totally locked in at those you think all these punches where he was trying to get accomplish I left he was still at it that’s one of my jokes this way on getting into shape this season that’s been a lot of whistle contact those. What do you think all these pictures were saying? Photosh shot the rip. Ripped from here. He looks great. Find out when camp gets underway in September. Wells leaking out. Got the Spencer dropped it through. Now has taken a four. This time it’s Fleming on the other end of a Spencer delivery and the summer Grizzlies have taken a six-point lead. That’s just Cam Spencer dropping. Dime is playing with his head up. Advance passing the ball. Snap that thing up on time on target. That is just really seeing plays. Four bouncing key right now. And that’s the second time. That’s just a good [Music] delivery. NBA 2K26 is proudly sponsored by NBA 2K26 for everyone. That thing up on time on target. That is just the number one second time. That’s just a different player making the right so you can lose more sweat and earn a place in history. NBA 2K26 is proudly sponsored by NBA 2K26. Rated E for everyone. With wet AMD, I worry I’m losing sight of the world around me. Heat. Heat. N. [Music] everybody. Hey [Music] [Music] taking another guy very little wasted motion led 6864 and that streak comes to an end on the three-pointer 10 points gain shot at 35% from three in his first year hits there and then is the recipient side to the with an answer. He’s another guy. Very little wasted motion. Takes a sixpoint lead. Memphis turns over Portland on the inbound. Knight with a hand% from three in his first year. Hits there and then is the recipient of the inbounds and tips it down low for Mr. Well, spreading well and playing for each other. It’s fun to watch teams that play right way. [Music] That was a little bit of a set. The ball has energy. Someone gets a good shot. Biggest lead right now for the Grizzlies with a 10-point advantage. down low. It’s fun to watch teams that play who’s going to replace that really good experience. Ball has energy play. Someone gets a good shot. Really versatile broken can’t convert there and a five on four the other way. Well here in the fourth quarter. The question is talking about who’s going to replace Bane and you’re not going to replace slot balls spacing and Wells. Wells is playing with a lot of confidence. Sure is coming back from 17 points. I think Jaylen Wells can be slotted in as a starter regardless of what happened to the Gri. The question is is he a two guard and we’re seeing him some shot making here tonight. Little slot ball screen with good spacing and wells in transition on NBA 2K26 tomorrow. We’ll start it off with the Penc book night is at the free throw line for Portland. We remind you there are four more NBA 2K26 Summer League games on ESPN 2 tomorrow. We’ll start it off the Pistons and Rockets at 4 Eastern, 1:00 here in Las Vegas, followed by Raptor Magic Wizards and the Warriors and the Jazz. All four games on ESPN to Utah summer league yesterday afternoon. Got great hands, great footwork, great versatility. [Music] He’s going to have to continue to defend better. And sometimes I look at Kyle Fowski, he’s worst. If he just goes and plays, he’s really talented guy. He dropped a little bit. He’s going to be in this for a long time and he is a really played so well last year. Here’s another steal by Fleming behind the back and a dunk in the front. First game of tomorrow being Rockets really good start to summer yesterday never really got an opportunity to play so well last year you know he’s listen Great ball pressure right there. You can’t be loose with the balloon [Music] defense. Everything else that working on you don’t do well and you know he can shoot it. You know he’s competitive. You know he’s if he wants to get on the court he’s got a defender as opposed to great ball pressure right there. You cannot Memphis and there’s the finish. This team has created like kind of an epidemic Memphis play out of right now. It’s down. Two Grizzlies there knocking it around and Portland coming the other way. Two summer DQ. One is to save summer and the other Yeah, he’s super in for the new Superman cake better cookie dough blizzard right now at DQ wants Memphis to challenge the out of bounds. Right now it’s Portland ball. They’re going to need a comeback here down 13. Two summer sensations are flying into DQ. One is sure to save the summer and the other, yeah, he’s Superman. Heat. Heat. N. [Music] Hey. [Music] [Music] [Music] No doubt about it. What you do well? Yes. No doubt about it. He plays with their challenges here. When you are a player, ask a coach for challenge. Not every player basically gets to buy from the coaching. You got to have a little credibility. It’s like a foul. Does a player ever foul to what you do well out of bounds. They did and they won both their challenges. And when you are a player, you ask the coach for challenges. Not every player basically gets the buy in from the coaching staff. So you got to have a little credibility cuz it’s like a foul. Has a player ever committed a foul? Jaylen Wells by the way was number four last year in the NBA. Memphis having itself an outstanding fourth quarter. Trying to make comeback scores. saves it and Eddie J got it off of Well’s leg out of 15 points here tonight for Portland. Coming up on the final two minutes looking for it first win of this summer league with contested by Charlotte February got it off of well leg out of bounds. You got to figure out. So is he is he a ball guard? Is he a point guard? Is he a two guard? What’s the thing that he does that says, you know what, he can he can help us on that last possession. Handling a little bit getting waved by Charlotte February. Played in the G League with City last year. Hard got to figure out. So, is he is he a guard? Is he a point guard? Is he a two guard? What’s the thing that he does that says, you know what, he can he can help us this way. First Lopez shooting a little bit. One thing we know plays be a little stronger with the basketball 134. It’s been a summer tradition with the Portland summer tradition is this could be still down nine. The thing we have noticed in a 5 seconds to go right to the end of the last two minutes against the one thing we know that last minute 34 to go 134 it’s been a summer league tradition so far here tradition is this could be 10 minutes the thing we have noticed in a good maybe not that much but guys that are playing hard right to the end possession every second. Now the limit is Portland. So that put Memphis at the line with a minute 34 to go. What a day here though in Vegas. I mean it is I came in early to watch and Dallas play. It was a mass of humanity. This place was almost packed. Cox was was was totally packed with lines outside waiting to get in. The hallway was absolutely filled. I mean, it is it is the basketball epicenter for 10 days and it has been embraced by this community and people come from all over to experience the summer. Many of those people have already made their way to other destinations or maybe just getting a little nap because we got four more games. and eight of them all told between the two venues tomorrow afternoon. Justin McCoy did not play. I think the game of the day and I didn’t watch all of them over at the pavilion, but that preceded our two games here tonight was the Hornets and 76ers with Charlotte, the young Charlotte Hornets coming up with two wins so far here in Summer League. had a lot of different guys playing really well and guys did not play today. It all Simpson has been impressive. Very impressive. 19 points, seven rebounds earlier. Another guy plays really on balance with a good pace. A minute 20 to go. MJ Walker at 18 off the bench, six three-pointers. Going to run some clock here. Double comes at Wells. Guys do emerge at Summer League. We’ll rack it all up again tomorrow afternoon. Shot clock down under five. Well, he hit the free throws. Portland has it inside of 10 now. Get the rebounds with a minute 20 to go. It’ll be Portland. Memphis thought it was off of Sissoko. Memphis going to run some clocks at Wells. Comes Caleb Love. Shot clock down under five. got the couldn’t get the rebound. Still an opportunity just ball off of Sissoko to get to the line. Blazer basketball with 55 seconds left from place to place to place at the trade deadline. He was traded. Here comes Caleb Sacramento with Zack Leavine and that Dear Fox deal got the contact. He’s a guy that just draws that that big body. He’s going to find a way to to get to the line. Talk about a guy who was from place to place to place at the trade deadline. He was traded to Sacramento with Zack Dear Fox deal with San Antonio. Then he went to Washington with picks for Jonas Valentunis. Then was waved the next day. Played for San Antonio. The G- League last year has 34 NBA games of experience. This is his third summer league. First two is the Spurs and now with four. Your notes are incredible, but I don’t know how you can see any of that stuff. Context this year. They’re working out. Tell you what, they’re working good. 45 seconds left. We had a replay and the screen’s right in front of me and I couldn’t see. How about the guys back at Breast on what they’re doing for us? One thing technical crew, our production crew tremendous. It’s early here. It’s only quart in Las Vegas on the Pacific time zone. You’re up watching late night basketball on the east coast. And I say that in all seriousness, have you ever Where else would you want to be? Those guys are working their tails off. You should get one of the one of the things I always say about ESPN. One of the goals is what we do. We talk about everyone is around you. All they want you to do is have a good show. They want to help you have a good show tonight and they are a minuscule part of this production here. I say that in all seriousness, have you ever think all of us have been told that you should you get a greater appreciation just how incredible all that is? Young is there. to finish off. High fives with his guys right here. Watch. He’s getting to the glass now. Puts a body on him. That’s 72. Oh, McCoy shot nearly went down. Like he’s engaged in the game. He’s engaging his teammates. And you there’s a lot of hand signals. Had a couple of shot that we had earlier on asking back to his motion. He’s getting to the glass now. No puts a He’s finding a way to connect at 72. You mentioned that little engaged in the game is engaged his teammates. And you’re right, there’s a lot of hand signals the size of the circumference of the that that shot that we had earlier on asking the cutter in the back door to finish your cut. Finish your cut with a hand motion. He’s wearing 16. He’s finding a way to connect with his teammates. say it’s a good bet. You mentioned the size of those mits. That little slow motion replay of just the arm and the hand looked like it was about the size of the circumference of the basket. Only 20 years of age from China. Number 16 by Portland. Is that why he’s wearing 16? Shot clock off most likely. Don’t know for sure. Eight-point game with the three quarter court passen [Music] by Jaylen Wells who ends up with 23 points with the three/4 in this fourth quarter and that’ll do it in Las Vegas coming off the loss to the Celtics. A couple run outs by Jaylen Wells 23 got most of that done in this fourth quarter comeback win.
