Kai Sotto rides the bench for the second straight game as the Orlando Magic absorb a 23-point beatdown at the hands of the Indiana Pacers in the NBA Summer League.
MANILA, Philippines – Kai Sotto’s on-court debut in the NBA Summer League will once again have to wait a little longer as he was benched anew in the Orlando Magic’s 108-85 loss to the Indiana Pacers at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas on Monday, July 10 .
The Pacers rode on a well-balanced offensive attack as all five starters scored in double figures, with Andrew Nembhard dropping a game-high 21 points, to go with 3 rebounds, 7 assists, and 3 steals. Meanwhile, Isaiah Jackson, an undersized 6-foot-9 big man, imposed his will against Orlando’s thin frontline with a double-double of 13 points and 11 rebounds as the 7-foot-3 Sotto, the Magic’s tallest player in the roster, could only watch from the bench.
