Stat of the Day:Readying for his second professional season, Christian Wood has led the Sixers in scoring in each of their first two Utah Jazz Summer League games. The 6’11” tall, 235 pound forward posted 20 points in the #SummerSixers’ opener against Boston on July 4th. The next afternoon, he followed up the performance by tallying 19 points versus San Antonio. Wood has shot a combined 12 for 17 between both outings, while going three for five from three-point territory. He hit four threes in 17 appearances last year with the Sixers.Notable Quotable:Billy Lange, heading into his fourth season on Brett Brown’s staff, is serving as the Sixers’ coach in the Utah Jazz Summer League. After watching his squad nearly erase a 23-point second half deficit in Tuesday’s 95-91 defeat to the Spurs, Lange expressed appreciation for the fight that he saw:”We represent Philadelphia. We represent the logo, and this logo represents toughness. The score will not dictate our attitude, the score will not dictate our effort. I feel really good that we represented the city of Philadelphia here in Utah.”Did You See That?:.@Chriswood_5 puttin’ in work in the first half. #SummerSixershttps://t.co/kvCqNgkwIz— Philadelphia 76ers (@Sixers) July 5, 2016 #SummerSixers Sounds:Sixers.com is providing live play-by-play audio stream coverage of every summer league game the team plays.
