| Long made Philly better. |
Shawn Long scored 25 points, grabbed five rebounds and blocked two shots in just 17 minutes to power the Philadelphia 76'ers to their first NBA Las Vegas Summer League victory of 2016. The Sixers deleted (yes, that says deleted) the D-League Select team 108-71. Ironically, Philly won their first game of the Vegas Summer League without Ben Simmons, the number one overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft. They were 0-3 with Simmons in the lineup.
