The Summer League rosters for NBA teams are beginning to be announced in the aftermath of the 2025 NBA Draft. And for local basketball fans on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, there will be a familiar face playing for the Philadelphia 76ers during this year’s NBA Summer League.
Keve Aluma, a former Stephen Decatur basketball star, was announced as a player on the Sixers Summer League player roster on Tuesday, July 1. This will be Aluma’s second year playing Summer League basketball for the Sixers, as he also played and stood out as a member of the Sixers’ Summer League team in 2024.
A former Bayside South Player of the Year during his time at Decatur, Aluma starred at both Wofford and Virginia Tech during his college basketball career, and was an All-ACC player for two seasons at Virginia Tech.
After finishing his college career, Aluma has played overseas in Japan and South Korea, and he spent the 2024-25 season playing for the Ryukyu Golden Kings in South Korea.
The Summer League season for Aluma and the Sixers kicks off later this week in Salt Lake City, with their first game taking place on July 5 at 9 p.m. Eastern Time. Fans can watch the game on ESPN.
After playing three games in Salt Lake City, Aluma and the Sixers are scheduled to play four more in Las Vegas from July 10-16.
