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.

Nowell recorded 20 points (3-13 FG, 2-11 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block over 24 minutes during Wednesday's Summer League loss to the Cavaliers.

Nowell was inefficient from the field in Wednesday's loss, but he made up for it at the charity stripe to lead the Pelicans in scoring. The Kansas State product last saw NBA regular-season action in 2023-24 with the Raptors, playing in just one game. He's spent the last couple of seasons in the G League but is using the Summer League to showcase his talents in the hopes of catching on with an NBA team for training camp.

Ryan (rest) won't play in Wednesday's Summer League game against the Hornets, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Ryan is healthy, but the Bucks will give him the night off for rest alongside Brayden Burries and Kasparas Jakucionis. The remainder of Milwaukee's Summer League schedule has yet to be finalized, though the club is expected to play one more game Saturday against an opponent yet to be determined.

Jakucionis (rest) isn't playing in Wednesday's Summer League contest against the Hornets, according to Eric Nehm of The Athletic.

Jakucionis is expected to operate as a backup option in the Bucks backcourt after he was acquired in the trade that sent Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) to Miami. The second-year guard will aim to return to the hardwood when the Bucks play their next Summer League game over the weekend. Jakucionis is averaging 9.0 points and 5.0 assists per game in two Summer League appearances.

Burries (rest) is not playing in Wednesday's Summer League game against the Hornets, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Burries, Kasparas Jakucionis and Cormac Ryan are all sidelined for Wednesday's contest. The rest of the Summer League schedule has yet to be finalized, but Burries and the Bucks figure to play their next game Saturday against a team to be announced.

Evans delivered 22 points (9-22 FG, 4-15 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds and an assist across 26 minutes in Wednesday's 114-98 Summer League win over the Pacers.

Evans didn't shoot the ball well and struggled massively from beyond the arc, but he was still one of the top players for the Timberwolves in this 16-point victory. The former Duke standout and second-round pick in the 2026 NBA Draft had scored six points combined over his previous two Summer League appearances, so this was a step in the right direction.

Pullin recorded 23 points (6-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six assists, two rebounds and one steal over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 114-98 Summer League win over the Pacers.

Pullin was blanked in the first quarter, but he proceeded to score 10 points in both the second and fourth frames to ultimately lead the Timberwolves in scoring. He appeared in just five regular-season games for the Timberwolves last season and spent most of the 2025-26 campaign in the G League. Pullin faces an uphill battle to regular playing time at the NBA level with Minnesota, given that LaMelo Ball, Bones Hyland and rookie second-rounder Isaiah Evans are ahead of him on the depth chart.

Smith posted eight points (3-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt), eight assists and six rebounds over 26 minutes during Indiana's 114-98 loss to Minnesota in Wednesday's Summer League game.

Smith didn't have a huge scoring game, though it was better than the donut he put up against the Raptors on Monday. He did lead the Pacers in assists and finished as the team's second-leading rebounder behind Jalen Slawson (nine). Smith was a second-round pick of the Pacers in the 2026 NBA Draft, and he figures to spend most of his rookie season in the G League.

Williams (undisclosed) is in the Celtics' starting lineup in Wednesday's Summer League game against the Kings.

Williams was held out for rest purposes Monday against the Hawks, but he's back in action for Wednesday's clash against Sacramento. He played 29 minutes against the Raptors on Friday, finishing with 23 points, 13 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in an 83-80 win for the Celtics.
