The Houston Rockets won their first Las Vegas Summer League game against the Portland Trail Blazers on a game-winning three by Jabari Smith Jr., but it came at a price.
No. 4 overall pick Amen Thompson sprained his ankle in the win, and that will sideline him for the remainder of the Summer League.
For NBA fans, this is really unfortunate since Sunday’s matchup between the Rockets and Detroit Pistons was set to be a head-to-head matchup between the Thompson twins (Amen and Ausar).
Instead, only Ausar Thompson, the No. 5 overall pick by the Pistons, will suit up in this one.
