A matchup between the Pelicans and Thunder a week ago would have been must-watch television. Among others, Chet Holmgren, Dyson Daniels, Trey Murphy and Josh Giddey would have all been on the floor. Alas, welcome to the last game on the summer league schedule where rosters are decimated by various injuries, precautionary DNPs and rest.
To be fair though, today marks the last time we’ll see anyone donning the New Orleans jersey until September. So let’s just enjoy the basketball.
Furthermore, there are several interesting players to keep an eye because they could wind up in training camp and eventually be playing for the Birmingham Squadron.
