Former Oregon Ducks forward Arsalan Kazemi debuted in the NBA's Orlando Summer League with Philadelphia on Tuesday but his stay with the Sixers will be brief.

Kazemi played seven minutes in Tuesday's 92-71 win against the Houston Rockets on the fourth day of Summer League in Orlando, grabbing one offensive rebound and committing two fouls. But when the tournament shifts to Las Vegas for 10 days on Friday, Kazemi won't continue with Philadelphia -- which traded for Kazemi the night of the 2013 NBA draft after he was chosen 54th overall -- as he was expected.

Instead the 6-foot-8 Kazemi will begin practicing with the Iranian national team for the July 11-19 FIBA Asia Cup in Wuhan, China, he told the Philadelphia Inquirer. Iran plays in a pool with Japan, China, Indonesia and India. In late June it was reported Kazemi -- who played in Summer League a year ago before averaging 12.5 points and 11 rebounds in Iran last season -- would skip Orlando and play in Las Vegas. With Iran opening its Cup against Japan on July 11, however, Kazemi's plans were flipped.

His brief stay in Orlando aside, Kazemi is seeking a long-term NBA future.

"I still want to join this team during the year," Kazemi told the Inquirer.

Kazemi's playing time was brief but it was more than another former Duck got in Tuesday's action. Rockets forward Maarty Leunen did not play because of a coach's decision in the loss to the Sixers after starting each of Houston's previous two games.

A third former Duck playing in Orlando this week, Mike Moser, did not play Tuesday because his Boston Celtics were off. In two games -- each team will play five -- Moser is averaging 22 minutes and 14.0 points per game while shooting 45.0 percent from the field.

Boston plays Detroit on Wednesday at 4 p.m. PT in a game that follows Philadelphia's matchup with Brooklyn.
