Hansen recorded nine points (3-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 24 minutes during Friday's 83-79 Summer League loss to the Jazz.

Hansen led the Blazers in rebounds and was one point shy from recording his second double-double over his last three Summer League games. The 2025 first-rounder is set to enter training camp battling with Robert Williams, Sidy Cissoko and Micah Potter for the backup center job behind Donovan Clingan for the 2026-27 season.

Beringer (back) has been ruled out for Friday's Summer League game against the Clippers.

Beringer will end up missing the Timberwolves' final four games of the Summer League due to lower-back tightness. The 2025 first-rounder averaged just 7.9 minutes per game across 40 regular-season contests during his rookie campaign. However, with Naz Reid now in Charlotte, Beringer figures to operate as Minnesota's backup center behind Rudy Gobert for the 2026-27 season.

Raynaud (rest) is out for Friday's Summer League game against Charlotte, per Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140.

Raynaud is sitting out the Las Vegas Summer League finale Friday. The 2025 second-rounder is set to compete with Dylan Cardwell for backup center minutes behind Domantas Sabonis (knee) during training camp in the fall.

Cardwell will sit out Friday's Summer League game against Charlotte with left thumb soreness, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

This sounds like a precautionary move for the Kings. Through six Summer League outings, Cardwell posted averages of 7.7 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.8 blocks.

Hansen finished with 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists, one steal and four blocks across 26 minutes in Thursday's 108-101 Summer League victory over the Nuggets.

Hansen didn't have his most productive offensive showing Thursday, but he certainly got after it on the defensive end by finishing the evening with four blocks. The 21-year-old appeared in 43 regular-season games for the Trail Blazers in 2025-26, averaging 2.2 points and 1.5 rebounds over 7.0 minutes. Although Hansen's development is still a work in progress, it's reasonable to assume he will continue to improve throughout the 2026-27 campaign, especially if he gets more playing time.

Ike logged 15 points (4-10 FG, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, one steal and three blocks in 26 minutes during Thursday's 87-77 Summer League win over the Knicks.

Ike looked much more polished on the offensive end after finishing with six points in his previous showing Tuesday against Memphis. He also had his way at the rim, falling one rebound shy of a double-double while leading Golden State in swats. Ike is on an Exhibit 10 deal with the Warriors and will enter training camp looking to prove he's deserving of a roster spot.

Ejiofor (rest) won't play in Thursday's Summer League game against Memphis, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

This looks to be a scheduled maintenance day for Ejiofor, who also took a seat for Monday's game against Boston. He'll have another chance to play over the weekend as Summer League draws to a close.

The Heat and Goldin agreed to a two-way deal Thursday, per Michael Scotto of USA Today.

Goldin appeared in nine games for the Heat last season, but he figures to spend most of his time in the G League in 2026-27. He averaged 11.3 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game during the G League regular season for the Sioux Falls Skyforce in 2025-26.

The Thunder are shutting down Mara (rest) for the remainder of the Las Vegas Summer League, per Rylan Stiles of SI.com.

Oklahoma City got a good look at Mara during exhibition play, as the rookie big man averaged 9.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.8 blocks in 23.9 minutes per game over five Summer League appearances. Mara, a 2026 first-rounder, will be competing with Jaylin Williams for the backup center gig behind Isaiah Hartenstein during training camp.

The Suns are shutting down Maluach (rest) for the rest of the Las Vegas Summer League, per John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM.

Maluach put together an encouraging Las Vegas Summer League run, scoring at least 15 points in four appearances while registering three double-doubles as well. The 2025 first-rounder is next set to battle with Oso Ighodaro for the top backup role at center behind Mark Williams during training camp.
