In addition to his strong summer league performance, Dowtin has delivered impressive performances in the G League throughout his career. Notably, he had a standout game last season with the Delaware Blue Coats, recording 41 points, eight assists, and seven rebounds.
Regarding his NBA career, including his initial stint with the Golden State Warriors, the 76ers provided the following details:
