Malcolm Delaney: Scores 13 points, dishes out six assists Saturday

Regular starter Dennis Schroder (rest) sat out this contest and top backup Jarrett Jack remained out while he continues to rehab his surgically-repaired knee, so Delaney got the call to the top unit and responded with a steady outing. Though he’ll be a rookie this season, Delaney possesses more high-level experience than most first-year players after spending the first five years of his career in Europe, where he was one of the continent’s top players in 2015-16. With Jack uncertain to be ready for the start of the regular season, Delaney could settle in as Schroder’s primary backup in the early going.
