Former UNM Lobo Nelly Junior Joseph got another start Thursday for the Atlanta Hawks in a 92-88 win over the Memphis Grizzlies in NBA Summer League action in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The Hawks are 4-0 in Summer League action and, including an 11-2 mark when playing the past two seasons with the Lobos, is now 15-2 in his last 17 games played in Las Vegas.
Thursday he had just 2 points to go along with five rebounds, two assists and the Hawks outscored the Grizzlies by seven in the 20 minutes he was on the court. His +7 was the best in the game.
A playoff bracket will now be set up for Saturday for the Summer League.
Joseph, who went undrafted, is hoping to make an NBA or G-League roster this coming season, but will also have good-paying opportunities to play professionally overseas.
