Mintz enjoys productive NBA Summer League

Mintz most recently suited up for the Philadelphia 76ers in the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas.

It was a productive time for Mintz, who averaged 14.0 points, 4.2 assists and 1.6 steals, with two games of more than 20 points. He attempted 46 free throws in the five games, with nearly half (31) of his 70 points coming from the charity stripe.

Philadelphia ended on a winning note, notching an 87-83 win over the Nets on Friday to end with a winning record. Not surprisingly, Mintz was at the center of the action, scoring 20 points.

Mintz ended Summer League as the top rated player for the Sixers. His 14.51 rating was a full two points higher thanthe next player, Keve Aluma. Overall, Mintz ranked 26th among all Summer League players.

The Sixers had a mixed bag in 2025 Summer League play. They went 3-2 in Las Vegas a week after they wrapped up a 1-2 performance in the Salt Lake Summer League.
