Mark Lyons will be matched against former UCLA nemesis Larry Drew Jr. in his first NBA Summer League game on Saturday night
Former Arizona point guard Mark Lyons has found a spot in the Las Vegas NBA Summer League with the Toronto Raptors.
All of the 22 teams competing in the Las Vegas Summer League have officially announced their rosters. Former UA forward Kevin Parrom is not listed on any of them. Former UA power forward Jesse Perry, who averaged 21.6 points and 9.1 rebounds a game in 24 games for a professional team in Lebanon, was also not added to a Las Vegas roster.
Other potential former Wildcats who will not play in Las Vegas include point guard Josiah Turner (who played professionally in Canada this season) and shooting guard Kyle Fogg (who spent most of the season with Houston’s D-League affiliate).
Lamont “MoMo” Jones, who transferred from Arizona to Iona after his sophomore season, will play for Boston in Las Vegas.
Lyons is one of eight rookies listed on Toronto’s roster. The Raptors started practice in Las Vegas today.
Their first game is Saturday night against Miami at 7:30 p.m. at Thomas & Mack. Lyons will be matched against former UCLA nemesis Larry Drew Jr. in that game. Drew and former Oregon center Michael Dunigan are with the Heat summer league team.
