    Lakers' Darius Bazley: Held out of Friday's contest

    Bazley (leg) did not play in Friday's Summer League game against the Nuggets.

    Bazley had been having a strong Summer League showing before exiting Thursday's game against the Celtics early with a right leg injury. He appeared in 11 games with the Delaware Blue Coats in 2024-25, averaging 18.5 points, 9.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.5 steals in 30.8 minutes per contest.

    Nuggets' Curtis Jones: Tallies 22 points in SL win

    Jones finished with 22 points (9-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT), eight assists, five rebounds, two steals and one block over 29 minutes in Friday's 106-84 Summer League win over the Lakers.

    Jones paced all scorers in Friday's blowout win, capping off a strong and intriguing Summer League showing. He joined the Nuggets on an Exhibit 10 deal after going undrafted in the 2025 NBA Draft. In his final season at Iowa State, the guard averaged 17.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals while shooting 43.0 percent from the field and 37.4 percent from beyond the arc across 34 games.

  • Jazz's Brice Sensabaugh: No return for SL finale

    Sensabaugh (knee) did not appear in Friday's 105-92 Summer League loss to the Bulls.

    Sensabaugh lit it up at the Salt Lake City Classic earlier this month but didn't appear in any Las Vegas games due to right knee soreness. The Ohio State product will aim for a larger role in his third NBA season after averaging 10.9 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists on 45.9 percent shooting and 42.2 percent from three across 20.2 minutes in 71 regular-season games (15 starts) during the 2024-25 campaign.

  • Pelicans' Antonio Reeves: Drops 18 points in loss

    Reeves tallied 18 points (7-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists across 21 minutes during Friday's 113-104 Summer League loss to the Pacers.

    Reeves was one of five players to score in double figures in his team's Las Vegas Summer League finale. The Kentucky product was efficient, shooting 58.3 percent from the floor and 66.6 percent from beyond the arc. After averaging 15 minutes per game across 44 regular-season appearances last season, Reeves will be aiming to land a bench spot with the team come Opening Night.

  • Pelicans' Jeremiah Fears: Nears double-double in loss

    Fears finished with 20 points (6-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-10 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, three steals and one block across 26 minutes during Friday's 113-104 Summer League loss to the Pacers.

    Fears finished his first stint in the Las Vegas Summer League on a high note, coming three rebounds shy of recording a double-double while also leading his team in scoring. The Oklahoma product cracked 20 or more points in two straight games.

  • Pacers' Enrique Freeman: Strong end to Summer League

    Freeman tallied 14 points (7-8 FG, 0-3 FT), 10 rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one steal across 28 minutes in Friday's 113-104 Summer League win over the Pelicans.

    Freeman closed out an impressive Summer League showing with another double-double on highly efficient shooting. While the big man is expected to spend significant time in the G League during the 2025-26 season, his strong summer performance -- combined with Myles Turner's departure and Isaiah Jackson's (Achilles) injury status -- could open the door for NBA minutes.

  • Matas Buzelis SF | CHI

    Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Idle in SL finale

    Buzelis (rest) did not appear in Friday's 105-92 Summer League win over the Jazz.

    Buzelis remained sidelined Friday, as the Bulls have taken a careful and deliberate approach to managing his minutes this summer. The forward's last Summer League outing came Monday, when he impressed with 26 points in a 114-105 win over the Pacers.

  • Yang Hansen C | POR

    Trail Blazers' Yang Hansen: Done for Summer League

    Hansen (rest) won't play for the rest of the Las Vegas Summer League, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.

    Hansen turned a lot of heads during Summer League, as he might be a player who can contribute right away for his team once the 2025-26 campaign gets underway. The No. 16 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft finished with a strong outing July 16 against the Pelicans, putting up 15 points to go along with three rebounds, two assists, one steal and two blocks.

  • Bronny James PG | LAL

    Lakers' Bronny James: Out for SL finale

    James (undisclosed) will not play in Friday's Summer League game against the Nuggets, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

    James will sit out the Lakers' Summer League finale, likely for rest rather than injury-related reasons. He logged meaningful minutes this summer after appearing in 27 regular-season NBA games during the 2024-25 campaign.

  • EJ Harkless SG | UTA

    Jazz's Elijah Harkless: Shooting woes from deep

    Harkless finished with 15 points (4-16 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 27 minutes in Friday's 105-92 Summer League loss to the Bulls.

    Harkless delivered a well-rounded stat line Friday, though he didn't connect from beyond the arc. The 25-year-old saw consistent playing time this summer when he wasn't hampered by right wrist soreness.
