Alabama basketball former Labaron Philon hits double-digits in fourth straight NBA game

Philadelphia 76ers guard Labaron Philon is continuing to show off the skill that propelled two playoff runs for Alabama basketball in the 2026 NBA Summer League.

The Crimson Tide former put together his fourth consecutive performance with double-figures in the Sixers' 96-92 loss to the Orlando Magic on Wednesday, July 15. He scored 15 points, but they came from his worst shooting outing since signing with Philadelphia.

Philon went 7-for-24 from the floor and 1-for-13 from the field. He rounded out his stat line with six assists and six rebounds, the latter of which would've been music to Alabama coach Nate Oats' ears a couple months back. Philon's four turnovers, on the other hand, not so much.

The afternoon prior, Philon worked through growing pains against the pressure of the Houston Rockets, who won 90-64. While he struggled to dish out assists in the first half, he finished with four while leading the Sixers with 17 points, shooting 7-for-11 from the floor.

In his debut, Philon dropped 18 points, highlighted by four treys, and notched a team-high seven assists. His highest scoring performance came on Saturday, July 11 in a 100-93 victory over the Indiana Pacers, in which Philon scored 24 and recorded six assists.

This year's summer league session concludes on Sunday, July 19.
