While the busy 2023 NBA Summer League schedule is drawing to a close, the strong performances of the Sydney Kings contingent in Las Vegas haven't slowed down.
On day eight, former King Dejan Vasiljevic exploded for 14 points (including 4/5 triples), four rebounds and three assists, in just 11 minutes, as the Wizards defeated Oklahoma City 105-89.
Former King and current Washington forward Xavier Cooks didn't take to the hardwood during this contest.
