Zikarsky recorded 18 points (8-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT) and six rebounds in 24 minutes during Monday's 111-84 Summer League loss to the Trail Blazers.

After scoring just six points on 3-for-11 shooting in Saturday's loss to Denver, Zikarsky delivered an efficient performance Monday and finished as Minnesota's second-leading scorer, knocking down two triples. The 7-foot-3 center also finished second on the Timberwolves in rebounds. The two-way player appeared in only five regular-season games with the parent club last season, though he could see increased run in the NBA this season with Naz Reid no longer on the team.

Maluach finished with 21 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one steal and four blocks across 27 minutes in Monday's 95-88 Summer League win over the Bucks.

Maluach had another dominant performance Monday, recording his third double-double in as many games. The 2025 No. 10 overall pick out of Duke appeared in 46 regular-season games for the Suns during the 2025-26 campaign, averaging 3.0 points, 2.9 rebounds, 0.1 assists, 0.7 blocks and 0.1 steals over 8.9 minutes. Maluach is still young, so he has more work to do to develop his game. However, with Mark Williams having trouble staying healthy over the years, it wouldn't be surprising to see Maluach make some starts in 2026-27. Even if he doesn't, it's still reasonable to believe he will be more productive than he was during his inaugural season.

Markovic supplied 16 points (5-8 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one block across 27 minutes in Monday's 95-88 Summer League loss to the Suns.

After missing his first three attempts from beyond the arc, Markovic knocked down each of his final four three-point tries and finished as Milwaukee's second-leading scorer. He also tied for the team lead in rebounds. The 2025 second-round pick is far from guaranteed a consistent role for the Bucks in 2026-27 and may spend time with the club's G League affiliate, the Wisconsin Herd, as he continues to develop his three-point shot and overall game.

Peat finished with 19 points (8-15 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two steals across 26 minutes in Monday's 95-88 Summer League win over Milwaukee.

Peat looked good in his previous two Las Vegas Summer League games, though he looked even better Monday, finishing two points behind Khaman Maluach, who had a team-high 21. The 19-year-old Peat was selected with the No. 30 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft after spending his only collegiate season at Arizona. In 36 appearances with the Wildcats in 2025-26, including five NCAA Tournament games, he averaged 14.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.7 blocks and 0.6 steals over 27.8 minutes. Peat has a high ceiling, but he may not see consistent action for the Suns during the 2026-27 campaign, barring injuries.

Burries racked up 23 points (8-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-7 FT), eight rebounds, six assists, four steals and one block across 29 minutes in Monday's 95-88 Summer League loss to the Suns.

After scoring 26 points in the front end of this back-to-back set, Burries impressed yet again Monday. Although he struggled at the charity stripe, the rookie No. 10 overall pick turned in an efficient performance from the field and led all players in scoring, assists and steals while tying the team high in rebounds. The Arizona product has scored at least 18 points in all three of his Las Vegas Summer League appearances thus far, totaling 14 rebounds, 12 assists, seven steals and three blocks in those outings.

Sellers supplied 13 points (4-12 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one steal across 32 minutes in Monday's 80-63 Summer League loss to the Jazz.

Sellers struggled with efficiency in this one but was still Chicago's second-leading scorer, as only two Bulls players scored in double figures. The rookie shooting guard also tied for second on the team in blocks. He's totaled 28 points through two Las Vegas Summer League games, shooting just 32.0 percent from the floor.

Wilson produced 19 points (8-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 0-6 FT), eight rebounds, five blocks, two assists and two steals across 29 minutes in Monday's 80-63 Summer League loss to the Jazz.

Wilson scored just seven points on 3-of-11 shooting through the first three quarters, though he was dominant on both ends of the floor in the fourth and finished as Chicago's leading scorer. He also knocked down three triples and was efficient from downtown Monday after shooting 7-for-11 from deep in his Summer League debut. The rookie No. 4 overall pick also turned in another impressive game on the defensive end, and he's racked up eight blocks and four steals through two Las Vegas Summer League games.

Donaldson (rest) finished with 22 points (10-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 33 minutes in Monday's 90-73 Summer League loss to the Cavaliers.

With Trevor Keels (knee), Ryan Conwell (hip) and others ruled out for this contest, Donaldson took advantage to finish with a team-high 22 points. The 22-year-old went undrafted in 2026 after spending his final collegiate season at Miami. In 35 appearances with the Hurricanes in 2025-26, including two NCAA Tournament games, Donaldson averaged 16.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 0.2 blocks and 1.4 steals over 34.0 minutes per contest. He landed a two-way deal with Miami in June, so he may suit up for at least a few games with the Heat during the 2026-27 campaign. Still, Donaldson has a long way to go before earning meaningful minutes.

Alexander was taken off the court on a stretcher after sustaining an apparent injury to his left side in the fourth quarter of Monday's 80-63 Summer League win over the Bulls, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.

Alexander was seen moving around a bit on the stretcher, though he repeatedly grabbed at his left side and appeared to be in significant pain as he was taken off the floor. His next opportunity to suit up will come Wednesday against the Spurs.

Kaufman-Renn (mouth) is available for Monday's Las Vegas Summer League game against the Trail Blazers.

Kaufman-Renn exited Saturday's Summer League loss to the Nuggets after taking a shot to the mouth, but he's back for Monday's game. Kaufman-Renn is hoping to earn a training camp invite to Minnesota with some strong play at Summer League.
