The Sixers Paul Reed had a Summer League night to remember in a 99-96 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves:
27 points (11-of-17 FG), 20 rebounds, four assists, four steals, four blocks, two 3-pointers and three turnovers in 34 minutes.
Rayjon Tucker added 16 points off the bench, Aaron Henry added nine points, Frank Mason III had 13, and rookie Jaden Springer added 11 and five assists.
Springer also came up with two steals and he knocked down a huge triple late in order to grab the lead, but it wasn’t enough.
27 points.
20 rebounds.
4 assists.
4 blocks.
4 steals.@BBall_Paul | #NBASummer pic.twitter.com/RjhgX3J8Z6— Philadelphia 76ers (@sixers) August 16, 2021
He became just the second player in Summer League history to notch a 20-20 game, and had you played Reed in DFS tonight, he would have earned you 78 points.
The Sixers played him only 6.8 minutes per game (28 games played) last season.
Here’s a bet he’ll get a lot more PT once the season starts in October!
