Nerlens Noel to play in the Orlando Summer League

Nerlens Noel confirmed to ESPN.com's Jeff Goodman on Thursday that he will take part in the Orlando Summer League.

Earlier Thursday, Sixers general manager Sam Hinkie told radio station WIP that he expects Noel to make his NBA debut there.

Noel missed the entire 2013-14 season after suffering a torn ACL in February 2013 as a member of the Kentucky Wildcats.
