Keon Ellis scored an NBA career high 26 points for Sacramento tonight in a tight road loss to Oklahoma City. Ellis hit 8 3-point goals (also a career high) on the night. Most of Ellis’ damage was done in the first-half, where he scored 20 points and made 6 3-point goals, which surpassed previous career bests of 19 points and 5 3-pointers.
J.D. Davison paced Maine with 23 points and 12 assists, as the Celtics took Game 1 of the G League finals over Oklahoma City. Davison has reached double-figures in both points and assists in all 3 of Maine’s playoff games so far this season.
Collin Sexton, who had played in all 78 Utah Jazz games this season, missed tonight’s game with an illness.
Philadelphia’s signing of Spencer Turnbull can be traced back to a Friday bullpen in February that Turnbull threw for a Phillies scout, who happened to be a friend of Turnbull’s from their Detroit time together.
