Knicks drop first Summer League game to 76ers
The New York Knicks opened this year’s Summer League on a sour note Saturday, losing to the Philadelphia 76ers 110-101.
The Knicks were playing from behind for a majority of the game, and late game comeback fell just short as the team shot just 3-20 from three-point distance.
The star for New York was Daquan Jeffries, as he scored 20 points on 50% shooting and recorded two blocks. He was the main attraction on both ends of the floor and displayed pure athleticism all around the court.
Including Jeffries, seven Knicks players scored in double figures. Charlie Brown Jr. scored 17 points with six rebounds and three steals.
