The NBA Summer League continues to draw attention as rosters filled with recent college standouts take the court, and the latest matchup pits the Oklahoma City Thunder against the Utah Jazz in a highly anticipated contest.
Summer League Highlights
Among the players making their mark are former Iowa Hawkeyes Bennett Stirtz, Payton Sandfort and Josh Dix, who have each logged notable performances in the league's recent games, contributing scoring bursts and playmaking that have caught the eye of coaches and fans alike.
Sandfort, who erupted for 25 points in his last appearance, will look to extend that momentum, while Stirtz, who recorded nine points, three assists and two rebounds, and Dix, who added two assists and a rebound, aim to help the Thunder push past the Jazz.
