LAS VEGAS, Nevada, USA- [British] Virgin Islands basketball star D’Moi M. Hodge put in another performance for Los Angeles Lakers to seriously consider, as he top scored with a stellar performance to help the Lakers end their NBA Summer League journey with a 104-103 win over LA Clippers in Las Vegas on Sunday night, July 16, 2023.

Hodge, who has had a tremendous summer, caught fire once again. Hodge’s hot shooting and defensive intensity helped ignite the team’s comeback as he capped off Summer League with 23 points and seven made threes.

The 6-foot-4 undrafted guard whom the Lakers signed to a two-way contract was also productive on the defensive end of the floor. He came up with five steals, and midway through the fourth quarter, he came up with a steal, then instinctively threw a lead pass upcourt to create a fast-break that ended with a dunk by LJ Figueroa.

The win improved L.A.’s record to 3-2 as their time in Las Vegas officially comes to a close, since the team missed out on the playoffs.

The next time we will see the Lakers play basketball will be on October 7, 2023, when they take on the Golden State Warriors to open up the preseason.

    He was not drafted but he played better than most who were drafted. This must not be overlooked by NBA teams.

    Yeah let he play w other draftees and make it look like he is shinning. Hm pls. Dude get trampled by Memphis and he get that block so hard, they had to go into the day prior to find this dude. I am certain my savior Le Goat James cringed after seeing someone take up a block in Lakers uniform. He needs to continue watching re runs of Lebron’s games so he can learn real moves that gain points in the NBA (Trust when I say this as I have the highest basket IQ in the VI).

    That guy is improving daily.
    He is naturally hungry for a win, so therefore he will always get better as he plays.
    May the good Lord keep him healthy and strong so he can elevate to the highest, and play full time with Lakers or another team which is willing to take him on.
    He can become a supper star for sure.
