Dylan Harper and the San Antonio Spurs won the best game of the Las Vegas Summer League in overtime over the Utah Jazz.
In a game that disappointed Utah Jazz fans with the lack of Ace Bailey playing, there was a nice showing from Cody Williams and Kyle Filipowski in the Jazz’s 103-93 loss to the Golden State Warriors.
Utah Jazz big man Kyle Filipowski exploded for 35 points on Monday against the San Antonio Spurs. The No. 32 pick of the 2024 NBA draft shot 11-for-19, including 5-for-8 from deep.
Instead, it was Riley Minix who called game on the other end. Minix caught an inbounds pass and hit a fadeaway contested bucket from the short corner to lift the Spurs to the win, which sparked a huge celebration on the floor in Las Vegas.
[Trading Markkanen] is not Utah’s intention, sources told ESPN. It would be too much to describe Markkanen as untouchable, but the Jazz still project the All-Star forward as a key player in their future core.
For the second straight game (the final game of Salt Lake City Summer League, followed by this first one in Vegas), Bailey was sidelined. In Utah the Jazz said it was because of right groin soreness and then were more specific in Vegas, calling the injury right hip flexor soreness.
