DeVaughn Akoon-Purcell: Seizes opportunity

Akoon-Purcell finished with 33 points (12-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals across 31 minutes of G League action during Tuesday's 125-116 victory over the Austin Spurs.

Akoon-Purcell dropped a new season high in points thanks to an efficient 12-for-16 performance from the field. The 26-year-old has been hot lately, shooting 65.2 percent over his past four games and may be in line for a sizable increase in playing time with fellow reserve player Myke Henry currently dealing with a foot injury. Akoon-Purcell saw 31 minutes during Henry's absence Tuesday, his most since Jan. 3. Without an available timeline for Henry's return, it's unclear how long Akoon-Purcell will have this opportunity, though he'll try to make the most of while he can.
