76ers’ Isaiah Joe scores season-high 28 points in G League playoffs

Philadelphia 76ers rookie Isaiah Joe on Monday produced a game-high 28 points on assignment in the NBA G League to lead the Delaware Blue Coats to a first-round playoff win over the Austin Spurs.

Joe finished by converting on 9-of-18 shots from the field, including a team-high 7-of-15 from 3-point range, in 34 minutes of work. He also hauled in four rebounds and dished out three assists during the 124-103 victory at AdventHealth Arena.

The high-powered Blue Coats offense once again flexed its muscles on Monday, hitting 40.9% from 3-point range (18-of-44) as a team. The group entered the contest fourth in points per game, sixth in 3-pointers made and fifth in 3-point percentage.

The contest for Joe was just his third after joining the Blue Coats last week from the 76ers. The organization believes the playing time in the G League can help further his development, especially with the Sixers off this week due to the All-Star break.

With the win, the Blue Coats will now face the Raptors 905 on Tuesday in the semifinals of the single-elimination playoff format at 9:15 p.m. EST. The contest will be broadcast on ESPNU and NBA TV Canada.
