The NBA Summer League is a great way for rookies and fringe players to get their feet wet in a pro environment. Perhaps the same can be said of those who craft the jerseys.
Chicago Bulls rookie Lauri Markkanen took part in a summer league game Saturday with just one problem — his name was misspelled on the back of his uniform.
Lauri Markkanen's name is spelled "Markkenan" on his jersey.

Markkanen isn’t even the first 2017 draft pick to have his name messed up on the back of a jersey. At least they only flipped two letters.
