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.
The Sixers will only play in Las Vegas Summer League this year, after also participating in Salt Lake City Summer League in recent years.
