Akoon-Purcell registered 18 points (8-17 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, one steal and block across 35 minutes during Saturday's 133-113 loss to the Memphis Hustle.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old couldn't get it going from behind the arc Saturday, failing to hit on all four of his attempts. He's been a reliable shooter thus far this season, shooting 45.7 percent from three and 58.8 percent from the field, but Akoon-Purcell had an off day Saturday. He managed to tally nine boards and three assists, but he ended the game with a minus-26 rating. He'll look to bounce back Monday night against Iowa.

EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old enjoyed an efficient shooting night while draining all three of his attempts beyond the arc. He was aggressive on the offensive glass, as all five of his rebounds surprisingly came off his own teammates' misses. Akoon-Purcell will continue to provide scoring off the bench for the Blue moving forward.

Akoon-Purcell totaled 24 points (9-21 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and a steal across 36 minutes in the Pacers' 86-75 win over the Clippers on Friday in a Las Vegas Summer League consolation game.
EDGE Analysis
Akoon-Purcell's big double-double helped the Pacers grind out a win on Friday, and the second-year forward put together a solid showing in this year's summer league. He played overseas in the Israeli Premier League last season, but he's giving the NBA another try and hoping to make a roster after boosting his stock this summer.

Akoon-Purcell has signed with Hapoel Tel Aviv of the Israeli Premier League, Harrison Wind of BSNDenver.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Akoon-Purcell appeared in seven games for the Nuggets this season, totaling 22 minutes. In two G League appearances, he averaged 24.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.0 steals in 29.0 minutes. Denver, as a result of injuries, was forced to use up Akoon-Purcell's 45 days of NBA eligibility quickly. It seems he would rather test his luck overseas than in the G League for the time being.

Akoon-Purcell will head to Denver's G-league affiliate the Delaware Blue Coats.
EDGE Analysis
The move was expected when Akoon-Purcell initially signed his two-way contract with Denver earlier this season. The 25 year old impressed with his defensive intensity during Summer League, but has only played in six games during the regular season, averaging 1.2 points and 1.0 assists in 3.5 minutes per contest. Akoon-Purcell will have an opportunity to get more reps in the G-League and could feasibly see himself back in Denver before the end of the season, especially if any injuries occur.
