One day after Jared McCain scored his first professional points during the NBA Summer League, former teammate [autotag]Kyle Filipowski[/autotag] matched his feat on Tuesday.
The former Blue Devils 7-footer and Utah’s second-round pick in the 2024 NBA draft got on the board during the Jazz’s game against Oklahoma City (the same team McCain played during Philadelphia’s first game). During the third quarter, teammate Taevion Kinsey lofted the ball up toward the rim before Filipowski slammed the ball down with both hands and some additional authority.
The rookie finished the game with four points, five rebounds, and a pair of assists after playing a little under 20 minutes. The Jazz lost the game, 98-75.
Filipowski tumbled into the second round despite winning the ACC Rookie of the Year award in 2022-23 and coming back for a Second Team All-American season in 2023-24. He averaged 16.4 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.5 blocks, and 1.1 steals per game during his final season with the Blue Devils.
The No. 32 pick Kyle Filipowski finishes the alley-oop for his first Summer League points!
