Goldin recorded 14 points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one steal and two blocks in 30 minutes during Friday's 88-87 California Classic Summer League win over the Spurs.

Goldin, who was extended a two-way qualifying offer with the Heat back on June 27, has yet to receive outside offers around the NBA. He's expected to play a key role for Miami's G League affiliate this season.

Reed did not play in Sunday's California Classic Summer League game against the Warriors for rest purposes, according to Spurs reporter Matt Guzman of SI.com.

The No. 26 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, Reed won't be playing in back-to-backs early on as a precaution. However, he will likely play Monday against the Lakers. During his Summer League debut on July 3 against Miami, Reed had 10 points (3-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds and one block.

Post (foot) agreed to a three-year, $30 million contract with the Grizzlies on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Post is a restricted free agent, so the Warriors can still match this offer sheet. Including the Play-In Tournament, the big man missed the Warriors' final nine games of the 2025-26 campaign due to a right foot injury, and he finished the regular season with averages of 7.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.5 blocks and 0.4 steals in 17.3 minutes per game across 67 outings (35 starts). Golden State has until 11:59 p.m. ET on Tuesday to match the Grizzlies' offer.

Olbrich recorded 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt), four rebounds and four assists in 15 minutes during Sunday's 98- 69 California Classic Summer League win over the Spurs.

Olbrich put together an impressive all-around performance Sunday, leading the second unit in scoring and matching a team high in assists. Through two Summer League games, Olbrich has averaged 9.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 17.0 minutes per contest. The 22-year-old pro appeared in 37 regular-season games for the Bulls during the 2025 campaign and showed flashes of potential, culminating in a triple-double in the team's regular-season season finale. He will look to continue his strong play at Summer League to secure a deal for the upcoming season.

Cardwell (undisclosed) is out for Sunday's Summer League game against the Warriors Blue, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Cardwell will skip the second leg of this back-to-back set, but he should be back for Monday's matchup with Milwaukee. Anthony Dell'Orso and BJ Edwards should be able to get into the rotation Sunday with Cardwell unavailable.

Cardwell finished with eight points (3-4 FG, 1-6 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, two steals and four blocks across 28 minutes in Saturday's 79-76 California Classic Summer League win over Brooklyn.

Cardwell didn't do much on the offensive end, though he shined defensively by accumulating two steals and four blocks. The 24-year-old averaged 5.4 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.5 blocks and 0.7 steals over 20.6 minutes in 44 regular-season appearances with the Kings in 2025-26. While Cardwell has plenty to offer, he may have trouble finding minutes behind Domantas Sabonis (knee) and Maxime Raynaud. He will also need to address his free-throw shooting. If not, Cardwell could have an even tougher time getting involved.

Ejiofor racked up eight points (2-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and three steals across 28 minutes during Saturday's 103-102 Summer League overtime loss to the Jazz.

Ejiofor flashed his elite defensive instincts, recording two steals in his first six minutes while also doing an excellent job on the glass. The 6-foot-8 big man created numerous second-chance opportunities for Atlanta, grabbing seven of his 11 rebounds on the offensive end, and he finished with a plus-10 differential in the narrow loss.

Mara registered 10 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one steal and two blocks over 22 minutes during Saturday's 111-74 Summer League loss to the Grizzlies.

Mara did a nice job of asserting himself in the paint, and he also flashed some solid playmaking upside. He'll help back up the center spot in Oklahoma City during his rookie season, but his minutes will likely be relegated to the teens or lower while the team is at full strength.

Drummond agreed to a one-year, $3.9 million contract with the Knicks on Friday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Drummond will now head to New York to suit up for his seventh team since entering the league as the No. 9 overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft. The 32-year-old isn't as productive as he once was, though he's still one of the NBA's top rebounders. He also filled in admirably in his 25 regular-season starts for the Sixers during the 2025-26 campaign, averaging 8.3 points, 10.3 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.8 blocks and 0.7 steals over 24.8 minutes. While Drummond likely won't start as often this season with the Knicks, he is still a reliable reserve option and is capable of filling the void left by the departure of Mitchell Robinson, who recently agreed to a deal with the Celtics.

The Lakers are trading Ayton to the Wizards in exchange for Jaden Hardy and two second-round picks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Ayton's departure was imminent following the addition of Walker Kessler. In Washington, Ayton figures to be the primary backup to Alex Sarr, filling the void left by the departure of Marvin Bagley. Ayton doesn't seem like an appealing fantasy option on his new team, as he needs a lot of volume and minutes to be worthwhile in standard formats.
