Tallied for 80 dunks during his career-opening 148-game rodeo in San Antonio, Drew Eubanks showed his former team that, although he’s no longer a “spur of the moment,” improvisational around-the-rim jams remain a specialty in his skillset. Settled among a second home of sorts at the dunker’s spot, Eubanks — immediately upon recognizing Zach Collins’ commitment to his teammate’s drive — points skyward, the universal signal in requesting for an alley-oop aerial attack. Springboarding into his leap after his teammate acquiesces, Eubanks meets the lob pass at its apex, powering it through for a one-handed jam, giving the Utah Jazz a six-point third quarter lead in the process. The underdog Jazz weren’t able to maintain grip on said advantage, but Eubanks’ play against the San Antonio Spurs proved spirited nonetheless. Efficient with nearly every touch against his former team, Eubanks ended the late-night NBA Cup battle with nine points (on four-of-five shooting), accompanied by three boards, two assists, and a block on November 26, 2024. · Nov 27, 2024
