Former Pitt Panther Jamel Artis made his NBA G League debut Saturday with the Lakeland Magic in a 96-92 road loss to the Iowa Wolves.
In his first meaningful action since departing Pitt, Artis only accounted for eight points in 35 minutes but grabbed 11 rebounds. That rebound total ranked second on the team to one-time Panther Khem Birch, who had 13 rebounds to go with 13 points. But they were both outdone by Iowa’s Amile Jefferson, formerly of Duke, who had 21 rebounds in his own debut.
In addition to a solid night on the boards, Artis added two assists and went a decent 4-for-6 from the charity stripe.
