The 50th pick in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nba.com\/draft\/2025\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">2025 NBA Draft<\/a> led the Clippers, who had six players score in double-figures.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The score was all knotted at 25 apiece after a back-and-forth first quarter. Washington started to separate themselves with an eight-point advantage midway through the second, but LA rallied to grab a slight 52-51 edge at halftime. The contest had nine ties and 11 lead changes, with all but a single tie coming in the first half.<\/p>\n<p>The Clippers didn\u2019t let the halftime break kill their momentum. They won the third quarter by a score of 30-19 and went into the final frame up 82-70. An 8-0 Washington run made it 86-78 LA with a little more than six minutes remaining in the fourth. The Clippers turned to Sanders and Sean Pedulla to get them to the finish line, and they certainly delivered.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kobe Sanders puts up 26 points in the Clippers Summer League win vs. the Washington Wizards.<\/p>\n<p>Pedulla stuffed the stat sheet with 16 points and 11 dimes while matching Sanders\u2019 plus-17 rating. Nick Martinelli finished with 19 points, three 3-pointers and five boards. Baba Miller and Fletcher Loyer provided 12 points apiece for the Clippers. Norchad Omier compiled a game-high 15 rebounds to go along with 11 points off the bench.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Seth Trimble poured in 24 points on 8-for-12 shooting to lead five Wizards in double-figures.
