Duke basketball's Jared McCain and Wendell Moore Jr. squared off as their respective teams' starters at the two-spot.
Beloved Duke basketball one-and-done Jared McCain averaged 9.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.0 steals across the Philadelphia 76ers' three outings at the Salt Lake City Summer League. The No. 16 overall draft pick posted similar numbers in his official NBA 2K25 Summer League debut in Las Vegas on Saturday night.
The 22-year-old Moore, a former No. 26 overall draft pick who landed in Detroit via the trade route two weeks ago after spending his first two professional campaigns as a seldom-used reserve on the Minnesota Timberwolves bench, played 22 minutes against the Sixers. He tallied seven points, two rebounds, two assists, and one steal, shooting 2-for-10 from the field, 1-for-4 from downtown, and 2-for-2 at the line.
