Rookie guard Jaden Ivey received the swing pass and tossed it toward the rim where a wide open Jalen Duren eagerly scooped up the pass and yammed the ball

Fans will get their first look at rookies Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren tonight as the Detroit Pistons face the Portland Trail Blazers on opening night of Las Vegas Summer League action — provided you’re able to stay up until midnight to see the game.

In a whirlwind of a night, your Detroit Pistons came out of the NBA 2022 Draft as major winners of the lottery.
