Tweets Of The Day
Former Michigan guard Jett Howard was a standout in the Orlando Magic’s first game of the 2K25 NBA Summer League 2024 in Las Vegas. Howard, who’s entering his second season as a professional, finished with 22 points, 4 assists and 2 rebounds in a 106-79 blowout win over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Howard was red hot right out of the gate, with 16 points, 4 assists, 2 rebounds and 1 steal in 14 first half minutes. That helped lift the Magic to a 62-41 edge at the break. He shot 6 of 10 from the field and 4 of 6 from three-point range for the game.
Howard was the No. 11 overall pick in last year’s draft. He’s one of six former Wolverines to be participating in the Summer League from July 12-22 in Las Vegas.

Quote Of The Day
“Ronald was a great player at Shaw. “He was one of the best players in Shaw history. He went to Michigan and did well. He can tell his own story, and it’s legitimate. Those kids liked him. It’s hard not to like him. They went up there and visited, and they liked it. It’s that simple. They just connected. Ronald can recruit, now (laughs). He worked his magic.”
— Hank Tierney, the head coach of New Orleans (La.) Archbishop Shaw on Michigan wide receivers coach and pass game coordinator Ron Bellamy
