Nothing was ever going to get finalized in the Summer League. Let alone, the first Summer League game. Everyone had the nerves and the rust to work off in the Orlando Magic’s 86-80 win over the Brooklyn Nets at Cox Pavilion on Friday.
In his first shot of the Summer League, Jonathan Isaac clanked a shot off the backboard, a few inches wide of the rim. Mohamed Bamba did not fare much better, missing his shot long, clunking it off the back iron and no good.
It was an inauspicious start for two players the Magic are hoping to build around.
