PHILADELPHIA - February 18, 2014 (WPVI) -- Bensalem basketball star Kevin Grow made his debut as part of the Philadelphia 76ers, after signing a two-day contract. On Tuesday night, Grow was introduced on center court with his new teammates. Before the game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the teen was outfitted with his own custom jersey and a stall in the team's locker-room. It was another memorable night for an inspirational young man. The Sixers announced Monday they were signing the senior to a ceremonial two-day contract.
Signing the two-day contract capped an amazing week-long run in the national spotlight for the Bensalem High School senior. Last week, Action News' Jeff Skversky reported on the 18-year-old whose story garnered attention from around the Delaware Valley. "We said two minutes and you take advantage of your two minutes of fame. His life will be changed forever," said Earl Grow, father. The teen, who has Down Syndrome, was the high school team's manager for the last four years.
