Johnny Furphy’s NBA Summer League play has already delivered highlight dunks and promising performances, but it also gave fans a moment of pure spontaneity. During a courtside interview, the Indiana Pacers wing was abruptly called back into the game, cutting the conversation short and sending him sprinting toward the scorer’s table.
The scene unfolded midway through the second quarter of the Pacers’ matchup against the Chicago Bulls in Las Vegas. Furphy, who had just checked out after a strong stretch, was speaking with media when he was subbed back into the game, to his, and the reporters surprise.
