Former Tennessee basketball player Yves Pons made his NBA summer league debut Tuesday.
Pons, who recently completed his four-year career with the Volunteers, debuted in the NBA Salt Lake City Summer League with the Memphis Grizzlies.
The former Vol was not selected during last week’s 2021 NBA draft. He recorded a solid outing for the Grizzlies in their, 104-65, victory over the Utah Jazz Blue.
Pons, the 2020 Southeastern Conference Defensive Player of the Year, played 21 minutes off the bench for Memphis.
He recorded 12 points, two blocks, one rebound and one assist.
Pons was 5-for-7 from the floor and went 2-for-2 from beyond the 3-point arc.
