The San Antonio Spurs will start NBA Summer League play Monday at the California Classic against the Charlotte Hornets at Sacramento’s Golden 1 Center.
Spurs second-year guard Malaki Branham, who averaged 10.2 points in 66 games played last season, can’t wait to face the Hornets.
The California Classic will mark the NBA debut of Sidy Cissoko, the Spurs’ 2023 second-round draft pick. Cissoko, who is living under the shadow of his fellow countryman and teammate Victor Wembanyama, is a tenacious defender with a motor that never stops. “I mean, yeah, I’ll never give up, even if we are down by 20 or something,” he told KSAT 12 Sports. “I play 100 percent when I play basketball, which is hard. So, yeah, I play 100 percent every time and yeah, I like to play like this, so yeah.”
