The Miami Heat's Kasparas Jakucionis had a challenging outing at the NBA Summer League, stepping into a lead role as the team faced the Detroit Pistons. With key players absent, Jakucionis struggled, finishing with 15 points on 4-of-12 shooting, alongside five rebounds and five turnovers in a 108-88 defeat.

Jakucionis, who was the 20th overall pick, showed flashes of potential but has yet to find consistency. His performance in summer league has been marked by shooting struggles, with only one standout game thus far. The Heat will be looking for more from him if he hopes to secure a spot in the upcoming season's rotation.
