Former Spartan Jaden Akins has officially scored his first NBA bucket — well, NBA Summer League bucket, that is.
Akins banked in a three-point shot in the Orlando Magic‘s NBA Summer League game vs. the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night. Akins finished the game shooting 1-for-3 with his lone points being on that three-pointer made early in the game. Akins played 18 minutes in the loss to the Thunder.

As you would expect, Akins was stellar on the defensive end of the floor, recording three steals on Wednesday.
Akins has played in two of the Magic’s three NBA Summer League games so far this year. He is looking to break through and land on an NBA roster after going undrafted last month.
The Magic have one more NBA Summer League scheduled for Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets.
