Johnson (rest) has been shut down for the remainder of the Las Vegas Summer League, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Johnson appeared in just one game for the Wizards this summer, posting 26 points (11-20 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 28 minutes in Thursday's win over Utah. AJ Dybantsa and Will Riley have also been shut down for the remainder of Summer League.

The Wizards are shutting down Dybantsa (rest) for the team's final three Summer League games, per Josh Robbins of The Athletic.

Dybantsa was able to make a pair of Las Vegas Summer League appearances before being shut down. The 2026 No. 1 overall pick will now set his sights toward training camp in the fall ahead of his highly anticipated rookie campaign in 2026-27.

Mogbo (rest) won't play in Tuesday's Summer League game against the Nets, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Mogbo will sit out the front end of this back-to-back set for rest purposes. His next opportunity to suit up in Las Vegas will come Wednesday against the Celtics.

Alexander has been diagnosed with a left rib contusion, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.

Alexander took a shot to the side in Monday's Las Vegas Summer League win over the Bulls and was taken off the court on a stretcher. However, he has seemingly avoided a serious injury and can be considered highly questionable for Wednesday's game against the Spurs. Even if he doesn't return in Las Vegas, it appears likely he'll be ready for the start of training camp.

Youngblood finished Monday's 111-84 Summer League win over the Timberwolves with 20 points (5-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and three assists across 19 minutes.

After shooting just 1-for-8 from deep in Sunday's overtime loss to Orlando, Youngblood was efficient from three-point range Monday en route to a team-high 20 points. He's scored at least 14 points in back-to-back contests after posting just eight points on 3-of-13 shooting in Friday's loss to the Suns. The 24-year-old guard is signed to a two-way contract and figures to spend most of his time with the G League's Rip City Remix in 2026-27.

Hansen racked up 18 points (7-8 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and five assists across 21 minutes in Monday's 111-84 Summer League win over the Timberwolves.

Hansen missed the front end of this back-to-back set with an illness but returned to action Monday. The big man turned in an extremely efficient performance and finished as Portland's second-leading scorer. He also grabbed a game-high 10 rebounds while leading the Trail Blazers in assists. Hansen has supplied at least nine boards and four dimes in both of his Las Vegas Summer League appearances.

Pullin provided 16 points (4-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 10 assists, four rebounds and two steals across 28 minutes in Monday's 111-84 Summer League loss to Portland.

Pullin was much less efficient Monday after scoring 24 points on 8-for-16 shooting in Saturday's loss to Denver, though he still finished as Minnesota's third-leading scorer. Additionally, the 25-year-old guard paced all players in assists and has dished out double-digit dimes in two of his three Las Vegas Summer League appearances. He also led Minnesota in steals Monday.

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.
