Cardwell registered 15 points (5-8 FG, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 25 minutes during Thursday's 91-85 Summer League win over the Clippers.

The Auburn product made an immediate impact around the rim, finishing efficiently while falling one rebound shy of a double-double. After a standout rookie campaign in 2025-26, Cardwell will make a serious push for a rotation role ahead of Opening Night, especially if the Kings move on from Domantas Sabonis.

Mogbo posted 12 points (4-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 24 minutes during Thursday's 91-85 Summer League win over the Clippers.

Mogbo is coming off two seasons in Toronto, during which he primarily featured for their G League affiliate. The Kings signed him to a two-way contract July 1, and he's expected to have a prominent role with the Stockton Kings early on.

Wagler logged seven points (1-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 27 minutes during Thursday's 91-85 Summer League loss to Sacramento.

The No. 5 overall pick couldn't get his jumper going but continued to receive plenty of on-ball opportunities as the Clippers prioritized his development. With the Clippers moving on from Kawhi Leonard, Wagler has the opportunity to start Opening Night next to Darius Garland.

Miller totaled 12 points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 27 minutes during Thursday's 91-85 Summer League loss to Sacramento.

The rookie second-round forward showcased his intriguing two-way upside, finishing efficiently while swatting a game-high three shots. There is a lot of competition for minutes in the frontcourt in Los Angeles, but Miller certainly has the talent to carve out a role.

Christie posted 15 points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds and one assist across 31 minutes in Thursday's Summer League loss to the Kings.

Entering his third NBA season, Christie was one of the Clippers' most productive players Thursday, leading the club in both scoring and rebounding while continuing to show improved confidence attacking off the dribble rather than settling exclusively for perimeter jumpers. Across his first two regular seasons in Los Angeles, he averaged just 7.9 minutes per contest.

Sanders totaled 10 points (3-10 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and four steals in 33 minutes during Thursday's 91-85 Summer League loss to Sacramento.

The second-year guard struggled to find his perimeter shot but made his presence felt defensively, tying for the game high with four steals. Sanders agreed to a four-year, $11.2 million deal with the Clippers back in June but is facing an uphill battle for minutes in the backcourt.

Sharp (undisclosed) supplied 21 points (4-10 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four steals and two rebounds across 26 minutes in Thursday's 91-85 Summer League win over the Clippers.

Sharp was held out of Monday's California Classic win over the Bucks but returned to action in the Kings' Las Vegas Summer League opener. The 2026 second-rounder led all players in scoring while coming off the bench Thursday. Additionally, he tied the game-high mark in steals.

Williams finished with 16 points (6-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists, four steals and one block across 30 minutes in Thursday's 92-88 Summer League loss to Washington.

Williams averaged a career-high 8.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.4 blocks and 0.8 steals over 24.3 minutes in 67 regular-season appearances in 2025-26. Although he had a quiet start to his second season in the NBA, he finished the year by averaging 15.2 points in six regular-season games in April. It's unclear how many more games Williams will play during his time in Las Vegas. However, as it stands currently, it appears he could be even more productive in 2026-27, especially if he gets consistent playing time.

Peterson finished with 24 points (6-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-8 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block over 30 minutes in Thursday's 92-88 Summer League loss to Washington.

Peterson was productive during the Salt Lake City Summer League. Although he kept it going on the scoring end Thursday, he was inefficient shooting the ball. Turnovers were also an issue once again, as the 2026 No. 2 overall pick committed eight on the night. It's unclear how much action Peterson will see throughout his time in Las Vegas, though it's reasonable to believe he will clean up some of those issues, especially once he adjusts to the speed of the professional level.

Bailey (back) didn't play in Thursday's 92-88 Summer League loss to the Wizards.

Bailey missed Utah's last two Salt Lake City Summer League games due to back spasms, and he didn't suit up for the club's Las Vegas Summer League opener. His next opportunity to play will come Sunday against the Clippers.
