Barnhizer finished with 21 points (8-16 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-5 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block across 29 minutes in Thursday's 97-87 loss to Dallas.

Barnhizer had his most productive game of the Las Vegas Summer League on Thursday while recording his third double-double. The 24-year-old appeared in 40 regular-season games for the Thunder during the 2025-26 campaign, averaging 1.7 points, 2.0 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.1 blocks and 0.3 steals over 8.7 minutes. Barnhizer will presumably spend most of his time in the G League in 2026-27. While that doesn't mean he won't see action with the Thunder, he will likely be utilized sparingly.

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.

Manon totaled 16 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 19 minutes during Thursday's 105-82 Summer League win over the Bulls.

Manon put together a polished shooting performance, joining Cameron Carr and Adou Thiero as the three starters to score in double figures. Manon put pen to paper on a two-way deal with LA earlier this month and appears destined to spend the majority of his time playing in the G League during the upcoming 2026-27 campaign.

Carr registered 14 points (5-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one steal in 22 minutes during Thursday's 105-82 Summer League win over the Bulls.

Carr put together a decent effort offensively, and while he couldn't get a shot to fall from beyond the arc, his production from the field helped the Lakers to a 4-0 Summer League record. The rookie has been putting together an impressive showing thus far in Summer League play, and assuming the Lakers don't shut him down, he'll have additional opportunities to get run over the weekend.

Brown finished with 14 points (3-15 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal across 27 minutes in Thursday's 100-83 Summer League loss to Houston.

Brown recorded his lowest-scoring total in three Las Vegas Summer League appearances. He also shot less than 50.0 percent from the field and 40.0 percent from deep for the first time during that stretch. Still, it's been a mostly positive summer for the 20-year-old rookie. Although Brown is expected to have his share of struggles during his inaugural campaign, he should still receive more than enough opportunities to produce right away.

Flemings (rest) won't play in Thursday's game against the Grizzlies, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Flemings played two games during the Salt Lake City Summer League before making two appearances in Las Vegas. The 2026 No. 8 overall pick wasn't consistently productive during those four contests, though it's evident the team is still comfortable keeping him off the floor.

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.

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

Gilbert will remain sidelined Thursday while tending to an adductor injury. He'll have another chance to return over the weekend before Summer League wraps up.

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

Newell will get another night off Thursday. The 20-year-old appeared in two games during his time in Las Vegas, combining for 19 points, eight rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks.

Dennis (Achilles) is out for Thursday's Summer League game against the Grizzlies, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Dennis is nursing a right Achilles issue and will miss another Summer League matchup as a result. He'll have another opportunity to return to the hardwood over the weekend, though it wouldn't be a surprise to see the Hawks hold him out as a precaution.
