Spanish Duo Make NBA Debuts: De Larrea Quiet, Baba Miller Dazzles with Dunk

Sergio de Larrea and Baba Miller both played their first NBA games on Thursday night. De Larrea, with the Mavericks, saw just under seven minutes, missed his only three‑point attempt, pulled down two rebounds and recorded one assist, ending with a minus‑14 rating. The Rockets ran away in the second quarter, winning 128‑110. Miller, with the Clippers, logged over nine minutes, made both of his field goals for four points, added three rebounds and an assist, and finished with a plus‑four. His most memorable moment came when he finished a dunk off a Darius Garland assist. The Clippers beat the Sacramento Kings 121‑96. Luka Doncic also debuted for the Lakers, scoring 28 points, grabbing eight rebounds and dishing seven assists in a 127‑105 victory over the Warriors. The two Spanish players will face each other Saturday night when the Mavericks visit the Pacers and the Clippers host the Lakers.
