Two of the biggest contributors to Clemson’s run to the Elite Eight this past season will be in Las Vegas this weekend when the NBA Summer League tips off.
Former Tigers big man PJ Hall, who officially signed a two-way contract with the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday, will be in Vegas for the Nuggets’ Friday night contest against the Los Angeles Clippers at Cox Pavilion. Tipoff is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET.
Those looking to watch the game can do so on NBA TV or with an ESPN+ subscription. NBA TV is carried by popular live TV streaming services like YouTube TV and FuboTV.
A two-way contract allows NBA teams to carry up to three players in addition to those already on their active rosters. Two-way players typically spend most of their time between the G League and the parent NBA club. Denver’s G League team is the Grand Rapids Gold.
Hall played in all 36 games for Clemson a season ago and averaged 18.3 points and 6.4 rebounds a night. He was projected as a late second-round pick in many NBA mock drafts but went undrafted. Hall joins a Denver franchise that features a former Clemson teammate of Hall’s in forward Hunter Tyson.
Additionally, former Tigers guard Joe Girard will be in Vegas as part of the Toronto Raptors’ Summer League team. A transfer from Syracuse ahead of the 2023-24 season, Girard averaged 15.1 points per game last season while shooting 43 percent from the field.
The Raptors open Summer League play Saturday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Tipoff is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET. The game can be seen on NBA TV or with an ESPN+ subscription.
Can't wait to watch these three start playing in the Summer League this weekend! 👏🏀#ClemsonGRIT || @ClemsonMBB pic.twitter.com/84W6fLQzJb
