Mbeng (concussion) is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's Summer League game against the Spurs.

Mbeng exited Monday's game early and entered concussion protocol, but he has evidently cleared protocol and will return to action Wednesday. Through his first three Summer League appearances, the guard is averaging 5.0 points, 3.3 assists and 1.3 steals in 12.2 minutes per contest.

Steinbach totaled 27 points (13-22 FG, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 27 minutes in Wednesday's 110-91 Summer League loss to the Bucks.

Steinbach dominated despite the loss, leading all players in points and rebounds. Seven of the big man's 15 rebounds came on the offensive glass. The No. 14 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft has shown some flashes through four Summer League appearances and figures to compete with Ryan Kalkbrenner and Moussa Diabate for minutes at center during the regular season.

Jones posted 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt), nine assists, three rebounds and one steal over 24 minutes during the Bucks' 110-91 Summer League win over the Hornets on Wednesday.

Jones was one of four Bucks starters to score exactly 11 points, each of whom connected on three three-pointers in Wednesday's win. The 2025 second-rounder also got his teammates involved and was one assist shy of recording a double-double. Jones inked a two-way deal with the Bucks in early July after being waived by the Pacers. He appeared in 37 regular-season games (seven starts) for Indiana last season and averaged 16.6 minutes per game. The Summer League, training camp and preseason will all serve as Jones' audition for a consistent role in the Bucks' rotation for the 2026-27 campaign.

Ament registered 23 points (7-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, two steals and one assist across 25 minutes in Wednesday's 110-91 Summer League win over Charlotte.

Ament broke through offensively, leading Milwaukee in scoring during a double-digit victory. Wednesday's outing was an encouraging step forward for the No. 13 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft after he was held to single figures in each of his first three Summer League appearances. The Tennessee product is considered a raw prospect, but Ament figures to receive significant opportunities during his rookie campaign with a rebuilding Bucks squad.

Peavy (not injury related) did not appear in Wednesday's 82-77 Summer League loss to the Cavaliers.

Peavy isn't dealing with an injury, but the Pelicans have kept him out of the past two games to provide other players with opportunities. The remainder of New Orleans' Summer League schedule has yet to be finalized, though the club is expected to play its next game Saturday against an opponent yet to be announced. It remains to be seen whether Peavy will return to action for that contest.

Williams closed with 24 points (7-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six rebounds and four assists over 32 minutes in Wednesday's 100-88 Summer League loss to the Suns.

Williams found his rhythm offensively, finishing as the game's leading scorer. The Nebraska product's Summer League has been a mixed bag, as he has topped the 20-point mark twice while failing to reach double figures in his other two appearances. Williams spent the 2025-26 campaign with the Motor City Cruise of the G League and has yet to make his regular-season NBA debut.

Jones posted 18 points (6-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, an assist, two steals and two blocks in Wednesday's 100-88 Summer League loss to the Suns.

Jones was one of four Detroit players who scored at least 15 points, and he led the team in rebounds and blocks while ranking second in steals. This was Jones' second double-double in four Summer League contests, and the third time he has surpassed the 15-point threshold.

Maluach tallied 23 points (8-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-9 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 28 minutes in Wednesday's 100-88 Summer League win over the Pistons.

Maluach led his team with 23 points and pulled down a game-high 15 rebounds as part of a winning effort. The second-year center has impressed throughout the Las Vegas Summer League, scoring at least 15 points in all four appearances while recording a double-double in three straight contests. The Duke product played sparingly at the NBA level during the 2025-26 campaign, averaging 3.0 points and 2.9 rebounds in 8.9 minutes across 46 regular-season appearances (one start).

Fleming finished Wednesday's 100-88 Summer League win over the Pistons with 22 points (8-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds and one steal over 27 minutes.

Fleming scored 17 of his 22 points in the first half of Wednesday's win and finished as the Suns' second-leading scorer behind Khaman Maluach (23 points). Fleming averaged 12.2 minutes per game across 55 regular-season contests in 2025-26, and he'll use the Summer League and training camp to audition for a larger and more consistent role in the Suns' rotation for the upcoming campaign.

Minix totaled 15 points (4-11 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 32 minutes in Wednesday's 82-77 Summer League win over the Pelicans.

Minix struggled from beyond the arc but managed to reach double figures thanks to a strong showing at the free-throw line. The forward's outside shot has abandoned him in Las Vegas, as he has gone just 1-for-20 from three-point range across four Summer League appearances. Minix made nine regular-season appearances with the Spurs and Cavaliers during the 2025-26 campaign, averaging 3.9 points in 6.4 minutes per contest.
