Kings' Alex Karaban: Scoreless in win
Rotowire
Karaban went scoreless (0-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt) with two rebounds, one assist and one block in 24 minutes during Thursday's 91-85 Summer League win over the Clippers.
Although the former UConn standout missed all six of his field-goal attempts, he finished with a team-best plus-12 and continued to provide solid positional defense. He wasn't even supposed to be ready in time for this game due to an ankle sprain, so it's not worth overreacting to his scoreless outing.

Sacramento's first-round pick flashed the polished two-way game that made him one of the most NBA-ready prospects in the 2025 NBA Draft. With DeMar DeRozan moving on, Clifford has a much bigger path to minutes on the wings.
