Magic adding Isaac Humphries
Isaac Humphries has agreed to sign an Exhibit 10 deal with the Orlando Magic, league sources told foxsports.com.au. The Australian big-man is coming off a 2018-19 season where he played five games for the Atlanta Hawks, before joining the Los Angeles Clippers for the NBA Summer League. Over three games in Las Vegas with the Clippers, Humphries — who just turned 21 — averaged 6.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.0 assist per game.
The old concert idea would work, and his former Lexington home was the perfect platform for the project. On Sunday, Humphries will headline a 15-song concert at the Lexington Opera House with all proceeds going to benefit the Ronald McDonald House of the Bluegrass. “I just couldn’t think of a better place and a better community to put something like this on,” Humphries told the Courier Journal this week as he practiced for the show. “Obviously, Big Blue Nation is the best fan base I’ve ever been a part of. I’ve played now all around the world and haven’t come across a fan base anything like them. I just kind of knew this was the place where I could do it and people would actually take notice and help people. “My name is on the billboard or whatever you call it and it’s my show, (but) I am doing this for other people. … I needed to find an environment where people wanted to be generous and wanted to give back to other people. I know that BBN and Kentucky do that.”
Tickets to the 6 p.m. show are available at Ticketmaster.com with prices ranging from $35 to a $100 VIP package that includes a meet and greet with Humphries following the show. “The funds raised from this concert will have a huge impact on our ability to continue to keep families close to their sick children being treated locally, and the awareness it will bring to RMHC is invaluable,” Nate Graham, executive director of the RHMC of the Bluegrass, said in a news release. “We are endlessly thankful to Isaac.” Humphries wants to keep some mystery about the specific set list but promised the 15 songs he has chosen each reflect a specific moment in his life. He plans to share those stories during the performance.
Australian centre Isaac Humphries will play for the Los Angeles Clippers at this year’s NBA Summer League. The former Sydney Kings big man will link up with the Clippers next month for the annual Las Vegas event as he looks to secure a contract for the upcoming NBA season. Speaking with NBL Media this morning from his training base in Irvine, California, Humphries said he’s looking forward to making the most of his next NBA opportunity.
