LAS VEGAS, July 17, 2016 – Tyus Jones of the Minnesota Timberwolves was named Most Valuable Player of the Samsung NBA Summer League 2016, while nine additional players highlight the Samsung All-NBA Summer League First and Second teams, as selected by a panel of media members.

The 11-day, 67-game event featured 23 NBA teams and the NBA D-League Select team and will culminate tomorrow night with the Championship game between the second-seeded Chicago Bulls and the 24th seeded Minnesota Timberwolves. The Championship game will air live on ESPN2 at 9 p.m. ET.

Jones led Minnesota to four consecutive wins during the tournament to advance to the Samsung NBA Summer League’s Championship game after losing the opening three games in Las Vegas.
