CJ Fulton’s Summer League ends with a basket and a wait

Hope for guard Fulton now is an invite to training camp, likely on a non-guaranteed contract. The Timberwolves have spoken highly of him over the past two weeks

IRELAND'S CJ Fulton delivered his strongest performance of Summer League on Saturday night, which included his first NBA basket, as the Houston Rockets came from behind to beat his Minnesota Timberwolves.

Despite being one of five teams that went undefeated in group play, the Timberwolves didn’t make it into the semi-finals due to a weaker point differential than the top four teams. This turned out to be a positive for Fulton, as the Timberwolves opted to rest some of their key Summer League players, allowing for a closer look at their bench.
