Slawson finished Saturday's 91-73 Summer League win over the Pelicans with 22 points (8-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, four blocks and one steal over 29 minutes.

As he's done for much of the Summer League, Slawson made his presence felt on both ends of the floor. He scored 10 of his team-high 22 points in the fourth quarter while also leading the Pacers with five stocks. Slawson appeared in only 13 regular-season games for Indiana in 2025-26 but averaged 23.9 minutes per contest. He could carve himself out a consistent role in the Pacers' rotation for 2026-27 if he extends his strong Summer League play into training camp and the preseason.

Peavy (rest) didn't play in Saturday's 91-73 Summer League loss to the Pacers.

Peavy sat out the Pelicans' Summer League finale, marking his third straight game on the sidelines. The 25-year-old forward averaged 4.3 points in 15.0 minutes per game across 61 regular-season appearances (four starts) in his rookie campaign, and he'll likely continue playing a relatively consistent role off the bench in 2026-27.

Huntley (hamstring) is out for Saturday's Las Vegas Summer League finale versus the Spurs, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Huntley will miss Phoenix's final three games in Las Vegas. He'll have plenty of time to rest before training camp opens in September.

Reed (rest) won't play in Saturday's Summer League game against the Suns, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Reed will hit the inactive list for the Spurs' Summer League finale. The rookie first-rounder will finish the Las Vegas Summer League with averages of 7.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.7 steals in 23.1 minutes per game across three outings.

Ike notched 16 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds and one assist across 26 minutes in Saturday's 92-88 win over the Lakers in the Las Vegas Summer League Semifinals.

Ike turned in an efficient performance and tied for the team lead in scoring. The big man also paced all players in rebounds en route to his first Summer League double-double. Ike and the Warriors will now turn their focus to Sunday's Las Vegas Summer League Championship against the Grizzlies.

Lendeborg recorded 15 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one steal and two swats over 29 minutes in Saturday's 92-88 Las Vegas Summer League win over the Lakers.

Lendeborg was locked in from the jump, not missing a single shot through the first half of action, and he was a menace on the defensive end. He finished with a team-best plus-11 rating and helped the Warriors advance to Sunday's Summer League Finals matchup against Memphis.

Carr contributed 17 points (5-16 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 28 minutes in Saturday's 92-88 loss to the Warriors in the Las Vegas Summer League Semifinals.

Carr's and the Lakers' Summer League run came to an end Saturday, and the rookie first-rounder struggled mightily with efficiency. Still, he finished as Los Angeles' second-leading scorer, posting at least 14 points for the fourth time in as many Las Vegas Summer League outings. During that span, Carr averaged 18.0 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists per contest. He's in line to compete for meaningful playing time off the bench in his rookie season.

Thiero finished Saturday's 92-88 Summer League loss to Golden State with 18 points (6-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and three steals over 26 minutes.

It was an efficient performance from Thiero, who made all nine of his shots between the field and the charity stripe while leading the Lakers in points, rebounds and steals. It was Thiero's first double-double of the Summer League and his most points in a game since July 10 against the Thunder (20). The 2025 second-rounder averaged just 6.0 minutes per game across 25 regular-season games in his rookie year, but he'll have the opportunity to earn a larger, more consistent role for himself in training camp and in the preseason.

Okpara posted 12 points (6-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists and one block across 27 minutes in Saturday's 91-83 Summer League win over the Hawks.

Okpara sat out Wednesday's loss to the Clippers but returned to action for the Wizards' Summer League finale. The rookie big man scored in double figures for the first time in Summer League play, finishing as Washington's fourth-leading scorer. He also led the squad in rebounds. Okpara is signed to a two-way contract and will likely see most of his playing time with the G League's Capital City Go-Go in 2026-27.

Johnson recorded 13 points (4-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists, four rebounds, three blocks and one steal over 31 minutes during Saturday's 91-83 Summer League loss to Washington.

Johnson led the Hawks with three blocks while finishing tied with Gabe Madsen as the team's second-leading scorer behind Devon Higgs (22 points). Johnson played in 27 games (22 starts) for the College Park Skyhawks in the G League last season and averaged 15.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.2 threes over 31.1 minutes per contest. He figures to spend most, if not all, of 2026-27 in the G League.
