NBA games before being waived and signing a deal with the Orlando Magic. Scrubb played two NBA games with Orlando

before being waived again, and has been playing for the Boston Celtics during this year’s Summer League. In a report on

Saturday afternoon from NBA insider Chris Haynes, it was revealed that Scrubb and the Celtics had reached an agreement

on a two-way contract for the 6’5″ guard, who has been impressive so far in Summer League. Drafted out of John A. Logan

Community College, Scrubb is trying to establish himself at the NBA level. While a two-way deal will not guarantee him

playing time above the G-League, it does give Scrubb a chance to spend time with the big club if an opportunity presents

itself. While he awaits that opportunity, Scrubb will look to dominate in the G-League. In his 24 career NBA games, Scrubb

has averaged 4.0 PPG in just 9.8 minutes per contest. Still hoping for an extended look in the NBA, Scrubb clearly impressed

the Celtics, who are excited to get the 22-year-old in their organization. As previously mentioned, most two-way players

spend the bulk of their time in the G-League, but NBA opportunities do present themselves, and Scrubb will be waiting for

his.

Kevin Durant Gets Honest About Russell Westbrook’s Impact

Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook have a complicated history. A dominant duo with the Oklahoma City Thunder,

Westbrook and Durant were one win away from the NBA Finals in 2016 before blowing a 3-1 lead to the Golden State

Warriors, which led to Durant joining them that offseason.

While Durant’s move to Golden State resulted in some heated on-court moments between him and Westbrook, the two have

both spoken about there being no beef, and how all of that was strictly competition. As more time has passed since Durant’s

to Golden State, he and Westbrook have been even more public about their positive feelings towards one another, with

Durant recently calling Westbrook one of the most impactful players ever:

Durant and Westbrook were openly complementary of each other during their first round playoff matchup this past

postseason, with both players speaking on the other’s greatness. For fans who grew up watching those Thunder teams with

Westbrook and Durant, it’s very cool to see them showing love again, because those were truly some special groups.

Westbrook is set to hit free agency this summer, and while the Clippers hope to retain him, they are limited in what they can

offer. For Durant, his Phoenix Suns just acquired Bradley Beal, and will be amongst the short list of favorites in the Western

Conference.
