The 76ers will play their first Las Vegas Summer League game July 9 against the Detroit Pistons, the NBA announced Friday afternoon.

Those games are expected to mark the on-court debut of Labaron Philon, whom the Sixers drafted 22nd overall earlier this week. Johni Broome, last year’s second-round pick, also is expected to play in Las Vegas after missing much of his rookie season while recovering from knee surgery.

That first game could match Philon against Ebuka Okorie, whom the Pistons acquired with the draft’s 17th overall pick.

    I have been a 76ers beat writer at The Inquirer since 2021, and also cover other Philly basketball stories. I especially love reporting and writing pieces that lift the curtain on the Sixers' people and process (pun sometimes intended), and that help readers feel connected to the teams they follow.
