The Philadelphia 76ers wrapped up their Salt Lake City Summer League schedule with a narrow victory over the Memphis Grizzlies’ entry on Tuesday night, powered by an efficient 26-point outing from rookie guard Judah Mintz, who added three steals while shooting 9-for-15 from the field. First-round pick Justin Edwards contributed 15 points, including three makes from beyond the arc, and center Johni Broome controlled the glass with 12 rebounds and two blocks for Philadelphia. Memphis received 12 points on four three-pointers from former Gonzaga forward Jeremy Jones, while Hunter Sallis chipped in 11 points and a highlight-reel dunk for the 76ers. The win sends Philadelphia to Las Vegas on a positive note as NBA teams shift their rookies and young prospects to the main Summer League that begins later this week.
