Zavier Simpson was a 59% FT shooter at Michigan
He split the pair, so this game is still in play
Clippers up 95-92. Rockets use last timeout with 2.8 left.
Reed Sheppard has not re-entered the game – 12:44 AM

Clippers have 6 3s as a team but have 25 points off of 17 Rockets turnovers

The thing I like MOST about Reed Sheppard are his hands defensively. Just has a knack for separating the ball from attackers’ hands
Clippers had an 11-point lead. It’s down to 59-55 with 5:59 left in 3rd quarter – 11:54 PM

The ref was hating on Trentyn Flowers put back from the top floor. Challenge in effect
Reed Sheppard and Kennedy Chandler (not Rob Dillingham) going off a lil bit, game tied at 40 with 2:19 left in 1st half – 11:29 PM

More on this storyline
You were a top pick last year. Your role ebbed and flowed, you had injury issues, but you were on a top-two seed, finding your place. Now you’re going to enter this year in a bigger role. This offseason, teams—including the Suns, I was told—asked about you. You were made untouchable in those conversations. What do you feel when you hear that? What kind of motivation does it give you? Reed Sheppard: Yeah, I think it’s really cool. This is my first year dealing with all the offseason stuff, the trades, so it’s kind of crazy seeing it all go down. But like you said, hearing that stuff is pretty cool. It gives me a lot of confidence—just going into the gym, continuing to work on everything I’ve been working on this summer, getting better, and looking forward to the season. -via YouTube / July 11, 2025
Danielle Lerner: Rockets summer league coach Garrett Jackson said that Reed Sheppard and Nate Williams should play the entire time in Vegas. “That’s the plan until I get told otherwise,” Jackson said. “I’m gonna lean on those guys a lot.” -via Bluesky / July 10, 2025
Another guard on the roster, Reed Sheppard, is expected to continue to grow as well. Stone shared a quick challenge during that interview with the media on Sheppard. “Reed (Sheppard) is just going to have to be real good for us, period.” -via Clutch Points / July 7, 2025
