Aidoo signed a contract with the Jazz on Friday.

Aidoo presumably signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Jazz, positioning him to join the club's G League affiliate, the Salt Lake City Stars. Over 30 G League outings with the Greensboro Swarm last season, he averaged 5.4 points and 3.7 rebounds in 11.5 minutes per tilt.

Curry agreed to a two-year, $116 million contract extension with the Warriors on Friday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Curry was eligible to sign a two-year, $136.7 million extension, though he took a discount to remain with Golden State as the team looks to win another championship in the twilight of the superstar point guard's career. The extension includes a player option for the 2028-29 campaign. The two-time MVP is coming off an injury-riddled 2025-26 season in which he appeared in just 43 regular-season games (41 starts), averaging 26.6 points, 4.7 assists, 4.4 triples, 3.6 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 30.9 minutes per contest while shooting 39.3 percent from downtown. There is some concern regarding Curry's long-term health after he dealt with patellofemoral pain syndrome in his right knee last season, according to Monte Poole of NBC Sports Bay Area & California, though he's expected to be ready to go once training camp rolls around.

Head coach Kenny Atkinson said Friday that Tomlin is "fighting to be in the rotation," Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reports.

The Cavaliers acquired Peyton Watson (hamstring) from the Nuggets and signed Mario Hezonja this summer, adding to an already deep roster. The club also has Jaylon Tyson and Sam Merrill, so Tomlin will have significant competition for playing time. The 25-year-old forward is no stranger to being buried on the depth chart, though he's proven he can handle meaningful playing time in the NBA. Over 64 regular-season games (three starts) in 2025-26, he averaged 5.8 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.8 assists while shooting 47.8 percent from the field in 15.7 minutes per tilt.

Omier signed a training camp contract with the Timberwolves on Friday, Paul Garcia of The Spot Up Shot reports.

Omier spent part of the 2025-26 season on a two-way deal with the Clippers and is now set to compete for a spot on Minnesota's regular-season roster. The 25-year-old appeared in 38 G League games between the San Diego Clippers and Cleveland Charge last season, averaging 18.3 points, 11.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.8 combined steals-plus-blocks in 29.3 minutes per contest.

Wheeler signed a training camp contract with the Suns on Friday, Paul Garcia of The Spot Up Shot reports.

Wheeler could compete for a regular-season roster spot in training camp. However, the organization now owns his G League rights, so it's possible he'll be waived before camp begins. Over 46 games with the G League's Osceola Magic last season, Wheeler averaged 14.3 points and 3.4 rebounds in 23.0 minutes per showing.

Boston signed a training camp contract with the Bulls on Friday.

Boston is set to compete for a spot on the Bulls' regular-season roster, and the organization also owns his G League rights. The 24-year-old forward appeared in four Las Vegas Summer League games with the Bucks this offseason, averaging 9.2 points in 17.3 minutes per contest.

Davis agreed to a training camp contract with the Spurs on Friday, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Davis is set to compete for a spot on San Antonio's regular-season roster. Additionally, the organization now owns his G League rights. The 24-year-old point guard appeared in 49 G League games with the South Bay Lakers in 2025-26, averaging 18.4 points, 5.0 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 29.6 minutes per contest.

Although head coach Kenny Atkinson said the starting lineup for the beginning of the 2026-27 season is not yet set, he praised Watson's (hamstring) fit in Cleveland and added that "there's a lot of room for growth in his offensive game," Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reports.

Watson isn't guaranteed a spot in the starting five immediately but will have the chance to compete for it during training camp. The 24-year-old forward figures to play a sizable role for Cleveland after being acquired from the Nuggets in August in a multi-team deal. Watson was limited to just 54 regular-season appearances (40 starts) in 2025-26 due in large part to a strained hamstring, though he impressed when healthy, averaging career highs in points (14.6), rebounds (4.9), assists (2.1) and steals (0.9) while chipping in 1.1 blocks per game and shooting 41.1 percent from beyond the arc. His length and defensive versatility will be key for a Cleveland team trying to reach the Finals for the first time since the 2017-18 campaign. However, his growth on the offensive end will also be crucial to achieving that objective. Watson is one of the top candidates to join James Harden, Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen in the starting lineup, but Atkinson isn't ready to commit to that idea just yet, as the Cavaliers have other options like Sam Merrill and Jaylon Tyson.

Head coach Kenny Atkinson said Hezonja is "going to be in the mix" for a spot in Cleveland's rotation to begin the 2026-27 campaign, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reports.

The Cavaliers essentially have four of their starting five confirmed, and Peyton Watson (hamstring) appears likely to slot into that fifth spot. However, training camp will be important in determining who else fills out the rotation. Hezonja, the fifth overall pick in 2015, hasn't played in the NBA since the 2019-20 season but has plenty of experience overseas. The Cavaliers boast a deep roster heading into training camp, and players like Sam Merrill, Jaylon Tyson and Nae'Qwan Tomlin are all likely to challenge Hezonja for minutes. Furthermore, Craig Porter, Tyrese Proctor and rookie Meleek Thomas will also be competing for playing time off the bench.

The Clippers waived Sharp on Friday, Jake Fischer of BleacherReport.com reports.

Sharp was on a two-way contract with the Clippers for a little over a month. He's coming off an impressive 2025-26 campaign with the Texas Legends in the G League, averaging an impressive 3.9 blocks per game.
