Sarr signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Raptors on Friday, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Sarr will compete for a spot on Toronto's regular-season roster in training camp after suffering a ruptured Achilles in April 2024 while playing for the G League's Oklahoma City Blue. The 26-year-old center appeared in 15 regular-season games for the Thunder on a two-way contract during the 2023-24 campaign, averaging 2.3 points and 2.4 rebounds across 6.5 minutes per game. He also averaged 14.0 points, 13.0 rebounds and 2.2 blocks in 28.2 minutes per game with the Blue that season.

The Raptors waived Castleton on Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Castleton played a fairly significant role down the stretch of the 2024-25 season for the injury-riddled Raptors, averaging 7.2 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 26.2 minutes per game over 11 regular-season outings with Toronto. However, the team has decided to go in a different direction ahead of the 2025-26 campaign. With Castleton now out of the mix, Collin Murray-Boyles, Jonathan Mogbo and Sandro Mamukelashvili are set to battle for frontcourt minutes off the bench.

The Lakers waived Jemison on Monday, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Jemison latched on with the Lakers on a two-way pact after being waived by the Pelicans in January, though he'll now have to explore other opportunities. The 25-year-old center appeared in 38 regular-season games between Los Angeles and New Orleans in the 2024-25 campaign, during which he averaged 2.5 points and 2.8 rebounds across 10.3 minutes per game.

Beringer averaged 6.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 23.1 minutes per game over four Las Vegas Summer League appearances.

Beringer started each of his outings at center and flashed plenty of rim-protecting ability, also swatting 2.5 shots per contest during the exhibition action. The Timberwolves spent the No. 17 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft to land Beringer, but the 18-year-old rookie big man profiles as a very raw prospect. As long as both Rudy Gobert and Naz Reid are healthy, Beringer could struggle to carve out a steady role off the bench in 2025-26.

The Magic signed Robinson to a two-way contract Monday, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Robinson spent the 2024-25 campaign with the Kings and Raptors, playing in 44 regular-season games. He averaged 6.9 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists across 17.5 minutes per game, shooting 44.4 percent from the field. Toronto waived the Fresno State product April 10. He'll have a chance at a fresh start with his new squad.

Koloko agreed to a one-year, two-way contract with the Lakers on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Koloko will return to the Lakers on a two-way deal for the second season in a row after he averaged 2.4 points and 2.5 rebounds in 9.2 minutes per contest over 37 appearances during the 2024-25 campaign. He'll likely continue to see limited playing time in a depth role at center moving forward, with both Deandre Ayton and Jaxson Hayes likely to be prioritized ahead of him.

Kalkbrenner recorded 15 points (5-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, one steal and a block during Sunday's 83-78 Summer League championship win.

Kalkbrenner put together a strong performance in the Summer League championship game Sunday, tying for a team-high in rebounds and being one of five Hornets players to score in double figures. Kalkbrenner was also valuable on the defensive end, not only recording a steal and a block but also providing flexibility in matchups and guarding the Kings' point guard at times. His defensive ability could give him a path to playing time during the upcoming season.

Niederhauser (back) won't play in the Clippers' Summer League finale Sunday against the Grizzlies, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Niederhauser will miss a second consecutive game to conclude Summer League due to a back injury. The extent of the injury remains unclear at this point, but there have been no reports suggesting he will miss time to start the regular season.

Hall agreed to a two-way contract with Memphis on Sunday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Hall will head to Memphis after spending the 2024-25 campaign on a two-way pact with Denver, during which he averaged 1.7 points and 1.2 rebounds across 3.5 minutes per game in 19 regular-season appearances. After being let go by Denver, the 23-year-old joined the Hornets for Summer League, where he averaged 9.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.6 blocks in 13.7 minutes per game across five outings.

Carlson closed with 12 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and two assists across 24 minutes in Saturday's 109-80 Summer League loss to the Hornets.

Carlson delivered a solid showing Thursday despite his team shooting just 31.8 percent from the field. He logged significant minutes throughout Summer League and re-signed with the Thunder on a two-way contract July 8.
