On Saturday, second-year NBA player Furphy scored 11 points on 5-of-12 shooting in a 104-85 loss to Oklahoma City. He missed all six of his 3-point tries. Former KU wing Furphy was 1-of-2 from the line and grabbed six rebounds with four assists in 29 minutes.

During a recent game between the Indiana Pacers and Chicago Bulls, second-year Pacers' guard Johnny Furphy welcomed the Bulls' first-round pick of the 2025 draft to the league with a moment he would probably like to have scrubbed from the internet.

Furphy, 20, delivered a ferocious dunk over Chicago Bulls rookie Noa Essengue during a Summer League matchup in Las Vegas on Monday, July 14 that left Nicole Briscoe and Ryan Smith in disbelief during their SportsCenter broadcast. "That's the worst poster I've seen in my life," Smith said during the segment, joking, "Is that real?!"

Oklahoma City has one open roster spot heading into the 2025-26 season, and the team could look to its Summer League squad to fill the role.

The Pacers allowed 38 points off turnovers and made just 8-of-42 3-point attempts in a 104-85 loss to the Thunder in NBA Summer League play.
