In the previous NBA Las Vegas Summer League game, the Phoenix Suns defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 111-87. After this game, the Suns' record in the summer league increased to 3 wins and 2 losses; while the Trail Blazers' record in the summer league fell to 3 wins and 2 losses.

In this game, Alex Schumacher, the Suns' substitute backcourt player, performed quite well. Schumacher played 21 minutes and 46 seconds in the game, made 5 of 10 shots, 1 of 3 from outside the three-point line, and 5 of 6 free throws, and scored 16 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. He also had 3 turnovers and 5 fouls, and the plus and negative value also reached +2. Schumacher showed comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end, and he also scored a lot of points through various methods. Not only that, Schumacher's performance in passing and organization is also quite good, and he seems to be able to play a decisive role on the offensive end. Schumacher's performance on the defensive end is also considered to be a fair-going performance, and he can also play his role on the defensive end. Schumacher can be said to have demonstrated his all-round ability in this game, and his performance in this area is indeed amazing. During the summer league, Schumacher made a total of 4 appearances, averaging 12 minutes per game, with averaging 9 points, 1.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 0.8 steals per game, and 1.5 turnovers and 2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 44.8%, three-point shooting percentage was 41.7%, and free throw shooting percentage was 83.3%. Schumacher's performance in the previous few games was considered sloppy. He didn't play much time, but in fact he was able to show his talent in scoring. It is actually not easy to be able to produce such data when playing time is limited. In this game, Schumacher got a lot of playing time, and he also proved that he has all-round personal abilities with his performance.

Schumacher was born in February 2001 and is 24 years old, 191cm tall and weighs 84kg. He was the undrafted in the NBA draft last year. Last season, Schumacher played for the Chicago Bulls' subordinate team Windy City Bulls and the Suns' subordinate team Valley Suns. His overall performance can only be considered average. His scoring ability is average, his passing ability is not at the top level, and he has no outstanding performance on the defensive end. However, in this summer league, his performance exceeded everyone's expectations, and he also showed a high level of maturity and versatility. The most important thing is that he showed a very high level in his last game and completed an explosion. With Schumacher's performance, we also have reason to believe that he has the opportunity to launch an opportunity to attack a training camp contract.
