The Philadelphia 76ers picked up another Summer League win in Las Vegas on Wednesday taking down the Dallas Mavericks.
VJ Edgecombe did not participate, which isn’t particularly surprising given that it was a back-to-back with the rookie still recovering from a thumb sprain. His absence opened the floor for bigger performances from Johni Broome and Mark Armstrong, who put up 22 points each, as well as Keve Aluma with 17.
Here, we’re just going to look at some of the Sixers’ highlights from the contest.

The Summer Sixers will be back out on the floor in Las Vegas on Friday night to take on the Brooklyn Nets, but until then, let’s look at some of the best plays from Wednesday.

First up, a cool 13-point Q1 from Mark Armstrong (4-4 FG, 3-3 3PT) Armstrong put up 22 points off the bench. pic.twitter.com/nbQ0XQdYX0
Mark Armstrong hasn’t had the best Summer League but he kicked it into gear on Wednesday night. Armstrong opened with 13 points in the first period on 4-for-4 field goal shooting (3-for-3 from long range).
2. Hunter Sallis dunk

Hunter Sallis is another player that hasn’t had the most stellar Summer League performance but this was a damn nice dunk. Sallis resets outside the arc before driving into contact for the slam and the foul call.
3. Armstrong’s emphatic dunk

Another great dunk, this time from Armstrong. Armstrong sees the gap in the Mavericks’ defense down at the low post and takes advantage quickly, flying around his defender and finishing with the one-handed slam.
4. Broome’s baseline finish

Most of Johni Broome’s contributions so far this Summer League have come from his quick trigger beyond the arc, but he had a few great plays getting down under the rim Wednesday night that I wanted to highlight. In this one, Broome opts to keep the ball himself rather than hand it off and actually drives himself into a tough pocket with two defenders on him. Broome is able to muscle his way through the defenders and up to finish with a nifty reverse.
5. Broome backs down defender, hook shot

Another toughness play from Johni Broome, this time backing his defender all the way into the paint and forces his way through to the left-handed finish. pic.twitter.com/Bx8HdLbg6k
Another good physical play from Broome here. In this one, he simply backs his defender in isolation all the way into the paint and finishes with a nice left-handed hook shot.
6. Keve Aluma’s 12-point fourth period

Last but not least, an efficient 12-point Q4 from Keve Aluma (4-4 FG, 2-2 3PT) pic.twitter.com/6G5mW64aea
Last but not least, a recognition of Keve Aluma for an efficient 12-point final frame. Aluma went 4-for-4 from the floor (2-for-2 from long range) in the fourth.
