Philon finished with 18 points (6-19 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven assists, three rebounds and one steal across 29 minutes in Thursday's 101-93 Summer League win over the Pistons.
Philon struggled from inside the arc but knocked down a game-high-tying four triples while finishing as one of four Philadelphia players to score at least 18 points. The 22nd overall pick in this year's draft also dished out a game-high seven assists in his Summer League debut. The 20-year-old guard will likely have an opportunity to carve out a role off the 76ers' bench in 2026-27, though he'll have to compete for playing time with guys like Anfernee Simons and Dalen Terry behind a loaded starting backcourt.

76ers' Labaron Philon: Nabbed by Philadelphia
Rotowire
Philon was selected by the 76ers with the No. 22 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.
Philon spurned the 2025 NBA Draft in favor of returning to Alabama for his sophomore season and subsequently broke out offensively. In 33 games with the Crimson Tide during the 2025-26 campaign, the 20-year-old averaged 22.0 points, 5.0 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.2 steals while shooting 50.1 percent from the field and 39.9 percent from beyond the arc in 30.9 minutes per contest. The guard's stellar season earned him All-SEC First Team honors. The 76ers boast a star point guard in Tyrese Maxey, allowing Philon to learn behind him and provide instant offense in a reserve role.
