Magic-Rockets will kick off summer league slate
LAS VEGAS — NBA summer time league will begin with a bit Midnight Insanity really feel, a minimum of in a few of the nation.
And if the Orlando Magic maintain the No. 1 draft decide, then that participant will not wait lengthy for his summer time debut.
The league launched the 75-game summer time league schedule Monday, with the primary recreation in Las Vegas set to pit Orlando in opposition to Houston on July 7 at 10 p.m. ET. That recreation can be adopted by a midnight Jap tip-off between Portland and Detroit, with these two matchups the one ones on the Day 1 schedule.
Most groups will open their Las Vegas slates on July 8 or July 9. All 30 NBA groups can be participating, all enjoying 5 video games.
The primary 4 video games for every crew are scheduled by July 15. The league will then seed all 30 groups for one remaining recreation every.
The 2 highest seeds will play a championship recreation on July 17, and all different groups play their remaining recreation on both July 16 or July 17.
There are two different smaller summer time leagues this 12 months, a four-team, four-game occasion hosted by the Golden State Warriors on July 2 and July 3 and a four-team, six-game occasion hosted by the Utah Jazz from July 5 by July 7.

Marlins Look For Better Late Game Luck Tonight in Detroit
The Miami Marlins arguably should have won last night.
Thanks to a well-timed Otto Lopez homer in the 8th inning, the Marlins were up 5-3 entering the 8th inning…but the Detroit Tigers got to the Miami bullpen, putting up three runs on reliever Anthony Maldonado to come back and seal the 6-5 victory. It spoiled an okay start from Sixto Sánchez, who has worked so hard to get back to MLB, as well as spoiling a good offensive day from Nick Gordon, who went 3-4.
Miami’s sending lefty Ryan Weathers (2-4, 4.54 ERA) to the mound tonight, looking to even the series, while Detroit’s countering with Reese Olson (0-4, 2.52).
Here’s how Miami will line up for the contest:
CF Jazz Chisholm Jr.
DH Bryan De La Cruz
1B Josh Bell
RF Jesús Sánchez
2B Otto Lopez
LF Nick Gordon
SS Vidál Bruján
3B Tristan Gray
C Nick Fortes
Weathers is coming off of a stretch of quality starts, going six innings with three runs allowed in losses to the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Oakland Athletics. He’s never faced Detroit as a starter, but has a little experience with a few of the Tigers hitters: SS Javier Báez and outfielder Mark Canha are both 0-1, while catcher Carson Kelly is 1-2 and infielder Zack McKinstry is 1-1.
Here is the Tigers lineup:
CF Matt Vierling
2B Andy Ibáñez
LF Mark Canha
DH Riley Greene
1B Spencer Torkelson
3B Gio Urshela
RF Wenceel Pérez
SS Javier Báez
C Jake Rogers
Olson’s had some tough luck so far this season – he’s allowed two or less earned runs in six of his seven starts and yet has still to get a win due to getting an average of 2.35 runs of support in his outings. He has one career start against the Marlins, coming in July of last season, where he allowed four runs on eight hits in six innings but once again took a no-decision (Miami won 6-5 thanks to two runs in the 8th inning). Not a lot of track record here for Marlins hitters, but Bryan De La Cruz took him deep and went 2-3 in that July matchup.
This evening’s matchup is scheduled for 6:40 PM ET and there’s a full suite of broadcast options: In-market, the Marlins broadcast is on Bally Sports Florida and the Tigers are on Bally Sports Detroit. For audio, the Miami broadcast is available on Fox Sports 940AM (WINZ) and WAQI 710, while the Tigers are on 97.1 The Ticket.

6 people hospitalized after suspect fleeing police strikes Uber, Detroit chief says
Six people were hospitalized, including a fugitive and their passenger, after a police chase began in Southfield and ended in a crash on Detroit’s west side, police said Monday.
A female Uber driver was in critical condition after a fleeing suspect struck her vehicle and she was ejected, according to Detroit police Chief James White. Four others were listed in serious condition, said White, who did not provide the condition of the remaining victim.
The suspected driver and a passenger were taken into custody and were among those hospitalized, the chief said. The driver is wanted as a parole absconder for second-degree murder and possession of cocaine, he said.
The chase began in Southfield around 5:30 p.m. near 12 Mile Road and Northwestern Highway and ended in Detroit. The driver ran a red light and struck the Uber headed west on Outer Drive near James Couzens Freeway, White said.
“I’m sure Southfield (police) is going to be issuing charges for fleeing and eluding as well as some other charges,” White said. “… The key is that we’re handling the investigation because of the critical nature of the accident. That’s where we are right now.”
