AJ Dybantsa made his NBA Summer League debut with the Washington Wizards on Thursday, July 9, in Las Vegas.
The Wizards selected Dybantsa with the No. 1 overall pick on June 23.
There was a level of interest in Dybantsa’s debut, especially playing against the Utah Jazz and the No. 2 overall pick, Darryn Peterson.
Dybantsa had a highlight dunk while going on to score 19 points and four rebounds in the first half. Peterson added 11 points and two assists in the half.
He had a brilliant game, but did sub out in the waning minutes of a close contest. ESPN’s broadcast showed him grabbing at his leg and saying “it hurts.”
Here’s how Dybantsa finished out his debut against the Jazz.
