STARS
■ Kings rookie center DeMarcus Cousins made his NBA debut with 14 points and 10 rebounds in Sacramento’s rout of Detroit.
■ Mavericks guard Rodrigue Beaubois overcame eight fouls and six turnovers to finish with 15 points and seven assists against Milwaukee. He hit the game-winning shot in Dallas’ overtime win.
HOYAS REUNION
Former Knicks star Patrick Ewing and John Thompson, his college coach at Georgetown, sat together for the Knicks-Lakers game. Ewing, an assistant coach with the Orlando Magic, was in town to watch son Patrick Jr. play for New York. Thompson has been at the Summer League every day. The younger Ewing had eight points and five rebounds along with four blocked shots as the Knicks beat the Los Angeles Lakers.
RARE TRIPLE-DOUBLE
Only in the Summer League can a guy earn the kind of triple-double that Phoenix Suns forward Gani Lawal did. Lawal collected 10 personal fouls to go with 15 points and 11 rebounds in the Suns’ win over the D-League Select at the Thomas & Mack Center.
HOBSON WAITS PATIENTLY
Bucks rookie swingman and Las Vegas native Darington Hobson said he’ll probably need “three to four weeks” to fully recover from a right groin muscle injury he suffered practicing in Milwaukee. Hobson, who attended Western High School as a freshman, said he expects to be ready for training camp. “I’m just staying focused,” said Hobson, the No. 37 pick in the draft out of New Mexico. “I’m soaking in all the information I need to and hopefully I can help this team in multiple positions.”
LOOKing AHEAD
In the old days, the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Summer League opener was cause for excitement because of the possibility that LeBron James might show up and watch. Now that James is in Miami, the Cavs, who open against the D-League Select at 3 p.m. today at Cox Pavilion, don’t figure to generate a whole lot of buzz. Unless you’re a Maciej Lampe fan.
QUOTABLE
“If somebody has some formal charge they’d like to lodge based upon a variety of gossip, bound together with some innuendo, infused by hearsay, I’d be happy to receive the charge, and we’ll take care of it from that point on.” — NBA commissioner David Stern, dismissing the notion there was collusion or tampering in Miami’s signing LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.
