After two consecutive wins to begin their 2026 NBA Summer League campaign, the Philadelphia 76ers have now suffered back-to-back losses against the Houston Rockets and Orlando Magic.
Although the 76ers trailed by 28 points at halftime, they roared back in the fourth quarter, outscoring the Magic 29-18, but ultimately fell 99-92. Amani Lyles and Duke Miles were the biggest bright spots throughout the contest, as Lyles scored 18 points on 7-for-12 shooting with six rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block. As for Miles, he offered steady scoring off the bench with 15 points in 25 minutes on 6-for-9 shooting to go along with three rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal.
Recent No. 22 overall pick Labaron Philon Jr. struggled, with 15 points on 7-for-24 shooting, which included 12 missed 3-point attempts (1-for-13). Philon Jr. also tallied six rebounds, six assists and two steals.
Now 2-2 through their first four summer league games, Philadelphia will await one final opponent this weekend before shifting focus to the preseason.
