Today was Day 7 of the NBA Las Vegas Summer League, and the only former NC State player playing today was T.J. Warren.
I know it’s the summer league, but Warren is making this look easy. Today in the Suns 106-80 dismantling of the Bucks, T.J. had 23 points (9-15 FG), 3 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 blocks. If you really want to know what the Phoenix Suns organization think of Warren’s tear in the summer league, check out their tweet from earlier today.
Mr. Tony Buckets is averaging 20.25 points through 4 games in Las Vegas.
Tomorrow’s Schedule
The other 4 former Wolfpack players in the Summer League did not play today because their teams lost yesterday. They will each play in one final consolation game tomorrow, but the schedule hasn’t been released yet. Warren and the Suns will be back in action on Saturday in the Quarterfinals.
