Former Spartans guard Jaden Akins went out on top in his NBA Summer League finale on Friday.
Akins wrapped up his stay at the NBA Summer League with his best scoring performance yet on Friday. Akins reached double-digits in scoring for the first time in the five games played, finishing with 11 points, four rebounds and three steals in the loss against the Mavericks. Akins made it clear he was going to go out firing, putting up a team-high 14 shots in the summer league finale.
Akins appeared in four of the Orlando Magic‘s five NBA Summer League games. He finished his stay averaging just under six points per game in his four appearances.
We will now have to wait and see where Akins lands for the upcoming season. There is a chance he’ll get signed to a NBA G League team, but at a minimum he’ll get a shot to play outside of the U.S. should he not land on a G League squad.
