The Summer 76ers (1-3) will wrap up their run in Las Vegas Sunday, facing the New Orleans Pelicans (3-1).

The Sixers played their final pool play matchup Friday, falling to the LA Clippers, 102-91, with Jaden Springer (15 pts, 4 reb, 5 stl) leading the way for Philadelphia once again.

Following Saturday’s practice, Springer reflected on the past two-plus weeks spent with the team’s new coaching staff:

"It’s been great to get to know everybody, and get used to everybody, learning the system, learning the offense. The staff here - the energy’s great. It’s a lot of teaching, it’s a lot of learning."

Sunday’s opponent New Orleans finished 3-1 in pool play, tied for the league’s fourth-best record.

Dereon Seabron was the Pelicans’ leading scorer their last time out - a 89-83 win Thursday over Charlotte - finishing with 20 points on 9-for-13 shooting from the field. Dyson Daniels added 16 points and three steals.

Sunday’s matchup is a 3:30 p.m. ET tip.

Springer on looking forward to the regular season, having had extra time with the team’s new coaching staff ahead of its veterans like Joel Embiid:

“That’s going to be cool. Now they’ve got to listen to what I’ve got to say for once. That’s going to be a ton of fun for sure.”

The Summer Sixers (1-2) play the second end of another back-to-back on Friday at 5 p.m. ET against the LA Clippers (2-1) at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.

Jaden Springer had another strong showing Thursday against the Atlanta Hawks with a summer-high 29 points and a pair of steals for the Sixers. Atlanta, however, came away with a 99-98 victory.

76ers rookie Terquavion Smith scored 14 of his 20 points in the second half, including nine in the fourth quarter alone.

Philadelphia’s Filip Petrušev and Ąžuolas Tubelis did not play.

The 26 teams that do not advance to the four-team playoff at NBA 2K24 Summer League 2023 will play a fifth game on either Saturday or Sunday.

Friday’s Sixers-Clippers game is a 5 p.m. ET start.

After dropping the opener, the Clippers won consecutive games this week, including an 83-74 win over Memphis on Wednesday. Rookie No. 30 overall pick Kobe Brown (12 points and 10 rebounds) out of Missouri and 2021 No. 33 overall pick Jason Preston (13 points and 10 rebounds) both notched double-doubles.

In addition to Brown, LA’s summer roster features another 6-foot-7 draftee in No. 48 overall selection Jordan Miller, who spent his college career at George Mason and Miami (FL).

Third-year pro Xavier Moon is averaging 20.0 points per game.

76ers Face Clippers Following Jaden Springer's 29-Point Performance

The 76ers (1-1) will play their third Las Vegas Summer League matchup Thursday, facing the Atlanta Hawks (2-1).&nbsp;

The Sixers return to the court after a pair of practice days, for their first competitive run since Monday’s 111-103 loss to the Mavericks.

DJ Steward was the Sixers’ leading scorer Monday, scoring 24 points off the bench. Jaden Springer (ankle) was out.

Bobby Jackson stepped into head coaching duties Monday, after a pair of games coached by Rico Hines, and the previous pair under Nick Nurse.

“That’s the number one thing - we’ve got to get to know everybody. As coaches, we can’t bark orders and tell them what to do if we’re not willing to build those relationships with those guys. And then there’s trust… That’s really important for us.”

Atlanta will be facing the second day of a back-to-back, a win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, 99-93, Wednesday.

Tyrese Martin led the way down the stretch for Atlanta Wednesday, tallying 25 points and nine boards, scoring 14 points in the fourth period alone.&nbsp;

Thursday’s matchup is a 3:30 p.m. ET tipoff.

More from Jackson on building relationships with his players and staff:

“Open the communication - the accountability that we expect and that we want - especially on my end. If I do something wrong, tell me about it. As an organization, that’s the message that we want to send, and the relationships we want to have with our guys.”

Another supportive 76er in the house Monday.

Seven Sixers finished in double-figures in the team’s Las Vegas Summer League opener Saturday, resulting in a 110-101 win over the New York Knicks.

Jaden Springer led all scorers with 23 points.

Sunday marked a milestone day for the Sixers, officially announcing the signings of Mo Bamba and Patrick Beverley to the 2023-24 roster, plus the re-signing of now-fourth-year 76er Paul Reed.

Monday’s matchup is an 8:00 p.m. ET tip.

Monday’s opponent - the Mavericks - dropped their Summer League debut Saturday versus the Oklahoma City Thunder, 91-80.

Second-year pro Jaden Hardy was Dallas’ leading scorer in the opener, finishing with a game-high 23 points, plus six rebounds and two steals.

Bellefonte, PA native Dereck Lively II, the No. 12 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, totaled four points, five rebounds, and a steal in his first pro action.

Tyrese Maxey alongside Nick Nurse at the inaugural NBA Con in Las Vegas Sunday:

“Philly fans, they’re so passionate when they come out to the games. That’s because they work for their tickets.”

“Strong work ethic is what I believe in.”

76ers Look To Build Momentum vs. Dallas Mavericks in Las Vegas Summer League

After playing a three-game schedule at the 2023 Salt Lake City Summer League, the 76ers are in Las Vegas for the start of NBA 2K24 Summer League 2023.

The Sixers open with the New York Knicks on Saturday at 5 p.m. ET.

New 76ers Head Coach Nick Nurse coached the team during the first two games in Utah, before giving way to Rico Hines, who will also lead the club in Vegas. All 30 teams play at least five games there.

The Sixers fell to the Oklahoma City Thunder in their Salt Lake finale on Thursday, despite mounting a strong comeback effort on the second night of a back-to-back. Philadelphia successfully rallied against the host Utah Jazz in the previous game and forced 22 turnovers in a victory.

Saturday against the Knicks is a 5 p.m. ET start in Las Vegas.

The Summer Knicks feature a pair of former 76ers two-way contract players in Charlie Brown Jr. and Michael Foster Jr., both of whom helped to lead the Delaware Blue Coats to the G League title last season.

New York also rosters 2022 NBA Draft selection Trevor Keels and 2019 Pistons draftee Isaiah Roby, who was later traded to Dallas.

Delaware Blue Coats Assistant General Manager and 76ers Scout Jameer Nelson on the upcoming schedule:

“It’s still going to be a lot of learning. Try to get better in the film room, in practice, and it’s game-by-game. We give all of these guys different opportunities. You [saw] we’ve had three different starting lineups in three games… These guys are getting good opportunities to play in front of not only us, but the other 29 teams as well.”

76ers Meet New York Knicks in Las Vegas Summer League Opener

The 76ers (1-1) picked up their first win of the summer with a 104-94 victory over the host Utah Jazz (0-2) on Wednesday night. The Sixers rallied from a 34-20 first quarter deficit behind a strong defensive effort, forcing 22 turnovers in the contest.

The Salt Lake City slate wraps up with the second half of a back-to-back for the Sixers on Thursday against the Oklahoma City Thunder (1-1). From there, the team heads to Las Vegas for NBA 2K24 Summer League 2023 and at least five more games.

During Wednesday’s first half, the budding chemistry between new Sixers two-way contract players Terquavion Smith and Ricky Council IV took the form of a mesmerizing alley-oop:

Philadelphia later utilized a 12-0 run near the midway point of the fourth quarter to pull away.

The Sixers begin play in Las Vegas on Saturday at 5 p.m. ET against the New York Knicks.

Thursday against OKC is a 7 p.m. ET start in Salt Lake City.

The Thunder (1-1) defeated the Jazz, 95-85, on Monday before falling to Memphis by eight in the game that preceded the Sixers’ matchup on Wednesday. Oklahoma City’s summer roster features a number of players with NBA experience, including third-year player Tre Mann, who dropped a game-high 28 points (10-14 fg, 2-6 3fg, 6-8 ft) last game. Chet Holmgren, the second overall pick last year, suited up for OKC’s first two games in Utah after missing all of his rookie season with a foot injury. The 7-foot-1 Holmgren averaged 12.5 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 3.5 blocks in his first two outings.

Ricky Council IV on playing for 76ers Head Coach Nick Nurse for the first time this week:

“I couldn't see it being much better than this. I've been blessed to have some really good coaches in my career, and Coach Nick Nurse made the transition not just easy for me, but for everybody.”
