Afternoon Delight: I'M BACK!
Payton Pritchard tore up the NBA Summer League for 3 games and then left for an excused prior commitment. We were told he was done for thr Summer League. Turns out it was a Pro-Am tourney in Portland and Pritchard dropped 92 points in Game 1.
Yesterday evening I joked that Pritchard wanted to know when the championship game was to see if he could make it in time.Payton Pritchard scored 92 points today in a Pro-Am tournament game:https://t.co/NdrpObF3Aw

Asking for Payton Pritchard. He has a previous commitment to drop 100 in a Pro-Am game tonight & wanted to see if he could be back in Vegas in time!
Then a little past midnight, Pritchard announced that he was back in Vegas for the Summer League championship.

I know it's silly to compare Jordan's return to Pritchard's. MJ's return was of course only for a regular season game, while Pritchard's is for a championship.@paytonpritch3 returning to the @celtics ☘️ for the summer league finals be like... #ImBack #PaytonBuckets @celticslife Would be cool if he switched to jersey 45 too. 😄 pic.twitter.com/gY3umAI34s
