Kurz Starts In Vegas

Michael Rothstein | The Journal Gazette

The Notre Dame portion of the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas finally got underway Sunday when Rob Kurz started for the Minnesota Timberwolves against Houston. The Rockets beat the Timberwolves 79-65.

Kurz played 23:13 at forward and scored eight points on 3-of-3 shooting from the field, including 2 of 2 from the three-point line. He did miss two free throws, though, and had only one rebound. He picked up four fouls and had four turnovers on a team also featuring familiar faces in former Syracuse guard Jonny Flynn and former Orange forward Paul Harris.

In an Orange festival game, Darryl Watkins played for Houston.

Kurz plays again at 4 p.m. Monday against D-League Select. Kyle McAlarney will make his pro debut at 8:30 p.m. on the Clippers summer league team along with top pick Blake Griffin, facing the Lakers.

Luke Zeller is slated to make his debut with Chicago at 8 p.m. Tuesday against Golden State.
