Canadians are off to a blazing start at the 2022 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas.
Orlando Magic second-round pick Caleb Houstan (Mississauga, Ont.) showcased his three-pointer prowess in his summer league debut by knocking five triples for a game-high 20 points.
Former South Carolina guard AJ Lawson (Brampton, Ont.) is finally putting it all together at the right time and is a strong candidate to find a new long term destination. Lawson went off for 28 points on 10-of-16 shooting in the Dallas Maverick’s 100-99 loss to the Chicago Bulls.
Indiana Pacers rookie Bennedict Mathurin (Montreal, Que.) announced his arrival and his intentions to win NBA rookie of the year with an impressive 23-point summer league debut in the win over the Charlotte Hornets.
Looking to beef-up their front court, the Boston Celtics are giving former 2019 first round pick Mfiondu Kabengele (Burlington, Ont.) an extensive look. The six-foot-ten versatile forward has performed well, filling-up the box score with multiple double-doubles, impressive blocks and efficient shooting.
The Milwaukee Bucks resigned Lindell Wigginton following a two-way deal that expired on July 1. The Dartmouth, Nova Scotia native authored a 24-point, five assists, five rebounds game against the Celtics.
