Former Auburn stars open NBA Summer League action with big games

Day three of the NBA Summer League at the California Classic featured three former Auburn stars competing for potential roster spots.

Unlike the previous two nights, the games did feature past Tigers competing on opposing teams. On Saturday night, the Sacramento Kings defeated the Brooklyn Nets 79-76 in a game that featured both Dylan Cardwell (Kings) and Chaney Johnson (Nets).

While both teams played on Sunday, neither Cardwell nor Johnson was active in the game.

Heat fell in double overtime to the Lakers

The Heat were able to pull off a close win on Friday night versus the Spurs and Miles Kelly, but Sunday afternoon was different. The Lakers took a 93-91 double overtime win to put both teams at 1-1. Keyshawn Hall scored just six points in the game on two of three shooting in 14 minutes of game action. While not a lot of points, he did show more efficiency than he did against the Spurs. He did show his rebounding ability with six in the loss.

Tre Donaldson was perfect in the game, shooting and connecting on all four shots from the field, and he made his one free throw attempt. He scored 11 points off the bench and had four assists.

Golden State Warriors Gold defeat the Spurs easily

Miles Kelly performed well in the Summer League opening night, scoring 16 points for the Spurs. He did not play as well on Sunday. The Warriors have split their team into two rosters: Blue and Gold. The Spurs played the Gold team and lost big 89-69. Kelly was 2-for-6 from the field, scoring just six points in the game. He missed both shots from beyond the three-point line and had two turnovers in the game. The loss drops the Spurs to 0-2.
