Welcome to 2026 NBA Summer League, featuring all 30 teams!

The Knicks won their first game of the summer 86-75, overcoming another hot shooting performance from the Pistons’ Chaz Lanier (24 pts on 8-for-12 3FG).

Seth Lundy (22 pts) swatted Rienk Mast (23 pts, 10 reb) as time expired to preserve a 94-93 Raptors win over the Pacers.

Kobe Johnson (30 pts, 7 reb, 4 3PM) led the Hawks to a 102-90 win over the Celtics, pushing their record to a perfect 3-0.

Kaodirichi Akobundu-Ehiogu (16 pts, 2 blk) soared to the rim for some stellar highlights as the Mavericks defeated the Grizzlies 96-88, overcoming Cameron Boozer (21 pts, 8 reb, 3 stl).

No. 34 pick Meleek Thomas (35 pts) caught fire to lead the Cavaliers over the Heat 90-73.

Jonas Aidoo (15 pts, 11 reb) continued his strong play, leading the Jazz over the Bulls 80-63, despite Caleb Wilson’s absurd poster jam.

No. 30 pick Koa Pete (19 pts, 2 stl) and the Suns beat the Bucks and Brayden Burries (23 pts, 8 reb, 6 ast, 4 stl, 4 3PM) 95-88 in a battle of former Arizona teammates.

Now, the Trail Blazers and Timberwolves are playing in the Thomas & Mack Center (11 ET, ESPN 2) to cap the night.

JULY 14 / 1:38 AM

Trail Blazers win 111-84

Yang Hansen (18 pts, 10 reb, 5 ast) put on a show to cap Day 5 of the 2026 NBA Summer League, including one last poster jam.

Chris Youngblood (20 pts, 3 3PM) led the Trail Blazers in scoring.

Donovan Williams (21 pts) was the top scorer for the Timberwolves, while Zyon Pullin (16 pts, 10 ast) had a double-double.

JULY 14 / 12:34 a.m. ET

Youngblood shining

Chris Youngblood (17 pts on 5-for-9 shooting) leads all scorers, as the Trail Blazers take a 58-44 lead into the second half.

Youngblood was the co-AAC Player of the Year while attending South Florida in 2024.

He averaged 21.0 ppg over 31 G League games last season, adding 6.0 reb and 3.4 ast.

“Chris Youngblood — always confident, never fearing,” said ESPN’s Cory Alexander.

JULY 14 / 12:01 a.m. ET

Suns win 95-88

Khaman Maluach (21 pts, 10 reb) put up his third-straight double-double to help the Suns dispatch the Bucks.

Brayden Burries (23 pts, 8 reb, 6 ast, 4 stl, 3 3PM) outdid Koa Pete (19 pts, 6 reb, 2 stl) in the battle of former Arizona teammates, although Pete got the win, while Bogoljub Markovic (16 pts, 8 reb) contributed for Milwaukee as well.

The Suns shot 15-for-34 (44.1%) from 3-point range in the win.

JULY 13 / 11:33 p.m. ET

Trail Blazers–Timberwolves about to tip on ESPN 2

No. 33 pick Isaiah Evans leads the Timberwolves, who are 1-1, against Yang Hansen, the No. 16 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, against the 0-2 Trail Blazers.

JULY 13 / 11:25 p.m. ET

Jazz win 80-63

Jonas Aidoo (17 pts, 11 reb) led Utah to a comfortable victory, but Caleb Wilson (19 pts, 8 reb, 5 blk) took over late to put his stamp on the contest.

Wilson put up 12 points and three blocks in the fourth quarter, flashing the potential that made him the No. 4 pick in the draft.

The Jazz earned a 44-22 advantage in points in the paint in the contest, as well as a 23-13 edge in points off turnovers.

JULY 13 / 11:09 p.m. ET

Caleb Wilson may have delivered the dunk of the summer

“Woah!” Drew Carter said. “Explosive!”

Caleb Wilson (14 pts) just threw down a poster over Jonas Aidoo, cutting the Jazz lead to 68-56 with 4:14 to go.

Few guys at 6-foot-10 can be this quick on the drive. Then, he takes off — look at the hangtime, look at the flying motion.

Wilson’s taken over this quarter for the Bulls as they try to rally.

JULY 13 / 10:52 p.m. ET

Burries, Pete battling

45-44 Bucks at the half, as former Arizona teammates Brayden Burries (12 pts, 4 reb, 2 ast, 2 3PM) and Koa Pete (11 pts, 2 reb, 1 stl) go at it.

We’ve seen six lead changes and six ties so far in the Pavilion.

JULY 13 / 10:31 p.m. ET

Burries with the vicious crossover

Look at the speed and force on this crossover from No. 10 pick Brayden Burries — at 6-foot-4, 215, there’s some Deron Williams to it.

JULY 13 / 10:20 p.m. ET

One time for Cameron Boozer

JULY 13 / 10:05 p.m. ET

Cavaliers win 90-73

No. 34 pick Meleek Thomas (35 pts, 3 reb, 2 stl) tied Caleb Wilson for the highest-scoring performance in Vegas so far, as the Cavaliers defeated the Heat.

Thomas was 14-for-23 from the field and 5-for-9 from 3-point range, helping the Cavs to a 50-38 advantage in points in the paint.

Tre Donaldson (22 pts) was the top scorer for the Heat.

JULY 13 / 10:00 p.m. ET

Suns-Bucks about to tip on Prime

No. 30 pick Koa Pete, an aggressive slasher out of Arizona, and No. 10 pick Brayden Burries, his college teammate, are about to face off.

JULY 13 / 9:54 p.m. ET

Get up on that rim

JULY 13 / 9:13 p.m. ET

Mavericks win 96-88

Kaodirichi Akobundu-Ehiogu (16 pts on 7-for-8 shooting, 2 blk) flashed in a big way for Dallas in this win, using elite leaping ability to show up all over the floor.

“Staying ready for whatever coach gave me,” said Akobundu-Ehiogu. “Every day, I don’t have time to reflect on the past, I just keep going, because I feel like I’m not where I need to be yet… I motivate myself every day.”

Sergio De Larrea (16 pts, 12 ast), Darin Green Jr. (18 pts, 5 3PM), Jaden Springer (17 pts, 1 stl, 1 blk), and Jorge Diaz-Graham (11 pts, 10 reb) also had strong games for Dallas, which shot 50.8% and 12-for-26 (45.8%) from 3-point range.

Cameron Boozer (23 pts, 8 reb, 3 stl) had a typical consistent effort for Memphis, which was 12-for-42 (28.6%) from deep.

JULY 13 / 8:48 p.m. ET

Meleek Thomas has 21 at the half

The Cavaliers are up 47-36 at the break, led by the No. 34 pick, who’s 8-for-13 from the field and 5-for-6 from 3-point range.

“Just taking what the defense gives me,” said Thomas. “I just know my value, know my worth. I put the work in, and I demand that respect.”

JULY 13 / 8:01 p.m. ET

Heat–Cavaliers getting started on Prime

NBA G League First-Team member Jahmir Young leads the Heat against No. 34 pick Meleek Thomas, who had 30 points last time out, and the Cavs.

The Heat are 1-1, while the Cavs are 2-2.

JULY 13 / 7:52 p.m. ET

Hawks win 102-90

Kobe Johnson (30 pts) and Henri Veesar (20 pts) led the Hawks to a win over the Celtics, pushing them to a perfect 3-0 in this tournament.

Veesar said the Hawks were going for the 2026 NBA Summer League title after the game — fitting, as they’ve been a strong team in both the Salt Lake City Summer League and in Vegas, winning today as No. 8 pick Kingston Flemings rested.

Atlanta shot 50% from the field, including 13-for-34 (38.1%) from 3-point range.

No. 27 pick Chris Cenac Jr. (16 pts, 5 reb, 4 blk) led the Celtics in scoring.

JULY 13 / 7:35 p.m. ET

Running in transition

Cameron Boozer (6 pts, 3 reb, 2 ast) displays impressive court vision here — a little Kevin Love on the outlet pass.

On the Dallas side, Kaodirichi Akobundu-Ehiogu (8 pts, 1 blk) demonstrated the hops that have him in contention for a roster spot. Impressive.

JULY 13 / 7:01 p.m. ET

Mavericks–Grizzlies getting underway on ESPN

No. 9 pick Morez Johnson Jr. (10 pts, 4 reb in his last game) faces No. 3 pick Cameron Boozer (23 pts, 6 reb, 4 ast in his last game) in this one.

Dallas is 0-2, while Memphis is 1-0 in Vegas.

JULY 13 / 6:51 p.m. ET

Mangas at the horn

Kyle Mangas (3 pts) knocked down a leaning buzzer-beating 3-pointer to trim the lead, but the Hawks are up 52-39 at the break over the Celtics.

Atlanta’s shooting 60% from the field, including 6-for-13 (46.2%) from 3-point range, led by Kobe Johnson (19 pts in 13:47).

“My teammates trust me, so I’ve just got to keep shooting,” said Johnson. “If we can keep defending, and keep not fouling, I think we’re going to be in a great position to win this game.”

JULY 13 / 6:26 p.m. ET

Raptors win 94-93

Seth Lundy (22 pts) rejected Rienk Mast (23 pts, 10 reb) at the rim as time expired to preserve a one-point win for the Raptors.

“The type of defense we play, we trust each other,” said Lundy. “Someone helped me and I helped them.”

Allen Graves (15 pts, 5 reb, 6 ast, 3 stl) was everywhere for Toronto, while reigning Big 12 Player of the Year Jaden Bradley (15 pts, 5-for-7 FT) was a sharp slashing presence.

Jalen Slawson (21 pts, 8 reb) had another good game for a balanced Pacers squad keyed by Braden Smith (3 pts, 9 ast), but the Raptors pulled it out with Lundy’s clutch effort, taking a game that featured 13 lead changes and four ties.

“That’s a heck of a defensive play by Lundy. He got up there,” said ESPN’s Danny Green. “A really fun one.”

JULY 13 / 5:50 p.m. ET

Celtics–Hawks ready to tip on Prime

No. 27 pick Chris Cenac Jr. has been impressive for Boston so far, while Atlanta’s No. 52 pick Henri Veesar is a fellow sweet-shooting big man and likely to be the focus of the Hawks’ offense.

JULY 13 / 5:45 p.m. ET

Knicks win 86-75

New York wins its first game of the 2026 NBA Summer League, defeating the Detroit Pistons.

“We’ve got a really good coaching staff, really good players,” said Liam Robbins (15 pts, 5 reb, 3 ast, 2 stl, 4 blk). “Our guards were great. They got downhill, we’d all roll, they’d hit us… When your guards are that aggressive, that talented, you’re going to score a lot of points.”

No. 39 pick Jack Kayil (19 pts) topped the scoring for the Knicks, followed by Dillon Jones (18 pts, 6 reb, 4 ast).

“Good one here for New York, getting on the board,” said Prime’s Brent Barry.

Chaz Lanier (24 pts) was the main story for the Pistons, going 8-for-12 from 3-point range to score his points.

JULY 13 / 5:25 p.m. ET

Braden on the spin

No. 38 pick Braden Smith (4 ast, 2 stl) has eyes in the back of his head. There aren’t too many pass-first point guards these days — fun to watch him.

Rienk Mast (13 pts on 4-for-5 shooting) is the lead scorer for Indiana, which is tied at 45 with Toronto at the half.

Seth Lundy (11 pts) has the shooting touch for the Raptors, while No. 19 pick Allen Graves (4 pts, 4 ast, 2 stl) is stuffing the stat sheet again.

JULY 13 / 5:03 p.m. ET

Lanier has the green light

Chaz Lanier (24 pts) just knocked down another 3-pointer, pushing him to 8-for-10 from deep as he goes supernova against the Knicks.

The ball comes lightly off his fingertips — some Kevin Durant to his release.

JULY 13 / 4:55 p.m. ET

Okorie’s preaching Pistons’ basketball

The No. 17 pick shared his keys to the second half as Detroit seeks to come back against New York.

“Intensity. Defense. Just keeping your man in front,” said Ebuka Okorie. “Picking it up, playing fast.”

JULY 13 / 4:46 p.m. ET

Lanier goes off, but Liam leads Knicks to lead

Liam Robbins (13 pts, 3 reb, 3 ast), a 7-footer out of Vanderbilt, leads New York in scoring at the half, going off as the Knicks used a 15–3 run to separate in the second quarter and take a 51-43 lead into the break.

“He looks comfortable in a lot of spots as a big,” said Prime’s Brent Barry.

After starting 0-2, the defending champs’ summer team is in its strongest position of this Vegas run.

“I think it’s the team just sticking with the process,” said 2026 NBA champion Dillon Jones (8 pts, 5 reb). “Me personally, just want to push the team… Do the invisible things you see happening during a championship run.”

Chaz Lanier (18 pts, 6-for-8 3PA) is red-hot for the second consecutive game. He holds a full-time roster slot on the Pistons and is looking to defend it as they search for shooting to surround Cade Cunningham.

JULY 13 / 4:34 p.m. ET

Raptors–Pacers about to get going on ESPN2

The ESPN analyst shared his thoughts on Braden Smith, the NCAA’s all-time assist leader out of Purdue, as the Pacers get ready to face the Raptors, describing him as a “super-vet rookie.”

“Very crafty, veteran-type guard,” said Green. “He’s going to set the table for these guys.”

Smith has some Rajon Rondo or LaMelo Ball to him — when the ball’s in his hands, his eyes are up, and he’s looking to attack with the pass. Old-school point guard.

JULY 13 / 4:20 p.m. ET

Okorie on the drive

The No. 17 pick out of Stanford with the Dennis Schröder-esque finish — just slipping it in there with the right hand.

JULY 13 / 4:00 p.m. ET

Knicks–Pistons opens Monday’s action on Prime

No. 17 pick Ebuka Okorie leads the Pistons against the Knicks to get things going in Vegas.

Detroit’s 1-1, defeating the Cavaliers Sunday, while New York is 0-2.

JULY 13 / 3:55 p.m. ET

Recap of Day 4 of the 2026 NBA Summer League

Chaz Lanier (23 pts, 7 3PM) and Brice Williams (21 pts, 6 3PM) rained from deep to lead the Pistons over the Cavaliers 103-94, outdoing No. 34 pick Meleek Thomas (30 pts).

No. 40 pick Dillon Mitchell (24 pts, 8 reb, 6 stl, 2 blk) was all over the floor as the Celtics locked down the Hornets 87-75.

Keaton Wagler (23 pts, 4 3PM) and the Clippers dispatched Darryn Peterson (23 pts, 5 ast) 104-82 to cap the night.

JULY 13 / 12:10 a.m. ET

One time for Keaton Wagler

JULY 13 / 12:05 a.m. ET

Clippers win 104-82

Keaton Wagler (23 pts, 9-16 FGs, 4 ast, 4 3PM) and Baba Miller (15 pts, 5 reb, 2 3PM) led the Clippers over the Jazz to cap Day 4 of the the 2026 NBA Summer League.

LA used a 42-18 third quarter to separate from Utah and never looked back, leading by as many as 28 points and earning a 23-8 advantage in points off turnovers.

The Clippers also shot 15-for-33 (45.5%) from 3-point range on the night, while the Jazz were 8-for-17 (47.1%).

Darryn Peterson (23 pts on 8-for-18 shooting) performed ably, but didn’t hit a transcendent gear.

JULY 12 / 11:43 p.m. ET

Spurs win 90-80

A second straight win for San Antonio, as they dispatch Milwaukee behind RJ Davis (20 pts).

No. 10 pick Brayden Burries (26 pts, 4 3PM, 3 stl) had his best game of the summer so far, but only Cormac Ryan (15 pts) joined him in double figures for Milwaukee.

The Spurs won the rebounding battle 55-39 and made 22 free throws to six for the Bucks.

JULY 12 / 11:13 p.m. ET

Baba Miller making waves

The 6-foot-11 big man out of Cincinnati (12 pts, 4 reb, 3 ast, 1 3PM) has made his presence felt for the Clippers.

He’s a team-high +12, and just knocked down a 3-pointer as the shot clock expired to extend their lead.

Miller’s right on the line between a wing and a big — Chris Cenac Jr. is a little bigger — and plays with some edge.

JULY 12 / 10:22 p.m. ET

SVG on Keaton Wagler

“Wagler’s a highly skilled guy. He can shoot; he can pass. He’s just going to have to get stronger.”

17-11 Clippers with 1:41 to go in the first, with the No. 5 pick in the draft at 3 points and 2 assists.

JULY 12 / 10:20 p.m. ET

Darryn detonates

JULY 12 / 10:18 p.m. ET

One time for AJ Dybantsa

JULY 12 / 10:12 p.m. ET

Spurs up 30-14 early in the second

No. 44 pick Maliq Brown (2 pts, 6 reb, 2 ast, 2 stl) is powering the Spurs so far, helping San Antonio take an early lead over Milwaukee.

“(Brown) has an ability to get a hand on the basketball unlike any other. It’s almost like a magnet,” said Cory Alexander.

JULY 12 / 10:00 p.m. ET

Clippers-Jazz getting started

No. 5 pick Keaton Wagler and No. 2 pick Darryn Peterson are facing off in the nightcap of Day 4 of the 2026 NBA Summer League, as the Clippers meet the Jazz.

The two highest-selected guards in this year’s draft class, coming up on Prime!

JULY 12 / 9:54 p.m. ET

Wizards win 104-85

Will Riley (32 pts) led Washington in scoring, while AJ Dybantsa (23 pts, 7 reb, 3 stl) demonstrated his skills again in front of Trae Young and his Wizards teammates.

“It just shows that the culture is shifting in D.C.,” said Dybantsa of their presence.

Dybantsa is a physical, skilled slasher at 6-foot-9, used to being able to out-athlete defenders, with a sense of angles and space.

“He’s just doing a little bit of everything, which he’s certainly capable of doing,” said Prime’s Stan Van Gundy. “He handles contact very well — strong, plays in traffic, can create his own shot.”

Riley (6-8 3PM) continues to build on his rookie form, when he averaged 10.3 ppg for the Wizards.

Maxine Raynaud (20 pts, 12 reb) was the top scorer for the Kings.

JULY 12 / 9:33 p.m. ET

JULY 12 / 9:24 p.m. ET

Magic win 112-105 in overtime

Lester Quinones (30 pts, 8 reb, 3 ast, 3 stl, 4 3PM) went off, including five points in overtime, to lead Orlando to the victory over Portland.

“Just showing my competitiveness and my will to win,” said Quinones.

The Magic shot 12-for-25 (48%) from 3-point range, while the Trail Blazers were 15-for-41 (36.6%).

TyTy Washington (12 pts, 6 reb, 7 ast, 3 stl) helped power the Magic, which had six scorers in double figures, including former Trail Blazer Keon Johnson (15 pts on 2-for-4 shooting).

JULY 12 / 9:03 p.m. ET

Trail Blazers-Magic going down to the wire

Portland 96-95 with 1:39 to go on ESPNU! Catch the end of the contest.

JULY 12 / 8:40 p.m. ET

Dybantsa works his way to the rim

Wizards lead 44-41 at the break, as AJ Dybantsa (17 pts) has it going again for Washington.

Look at the craft on the drive — snatch back, lefty dribble, jump-stop, power through contact with the vertical.

JULY 12 / 8:06 p.m. ET

Acuff Jr., Dybantsa start the scoring

The two star rookies are even at five points apiece to start Kings-Wizards.

Darius Acuff Jr. hit two floaters, including a tough one off the right foot to open the game; AJ Dybantsa responded with a pull-up 3-pointer in transition and a midrange jumper.

The 3-pointer was an eye-opening shot for Dybantsa — he shot 33.1% from distance at BYU, but hunted the above-the-break long ball there.

JULY 12 / 7:59 p.m. ET

Coach Micah Nori on the impact of Jrue Holiday

“Jrue did tell me if he was on one of our Minnesota teams the last three years — any of those teams — we would have won a championship.”

JULY 12 / 7:53 p.m. ET

Kings–Wizards ready to tip

No. 7 pick Darius Acuff Jr., who’s been lightning-quick and dangerous, if erratic, from range so far, leads the Sacramento Kings against AJ Dybantsa, who slashed his way to 27 points in his first summer action, and the Washington Wizards.

JULY 12 / 7:47 p.m. ET

Warriors win 104-79

Six Warriors scored in double figures, including Yaxel Lendeborg (14 pts, 4 3PM, 3 stl), as he won the battle of former Michigan Wolverines over Aday Mara (10 pts, 9 reb).

“I think that was my worst game ever… but we won, so it’s all good,” said Lendeborg, who was 5-for-14 from the field. “It’s like a dream for us (Aday Mara and I), seeing each other play at the highest level… This is a blessing.”

Nick Boyd and Lachlan Olbrich also had 14 points to help lead the Warriors, while Bennett Stirtz (13 pts) topped the Thunder offense.

Golden State’s 2-0 this summer, while Oklahoma City falls to 0-2.

JULY 12 / 7:05 p.m. ET

Magic–Trail Blazers about to start

Noah Penda has been a force for Orlando so far this summer, showing some Unicorn-like tendencies as a shooter and shot blocker, while Yang Hansen remains an intriguing mix of skill and size for Portland.

JULY 12 / 6:58 p.m. ET

Lendeborg finding the range

Yaxel Lendeborg has shown a solid shooting touch from 3-point range this summer, including today against the Thunder.

He shot 37.2% on 4.5 3PA in his senior season at Michigan — the best mark of his collegiate career — and shot 82.4% from the line.

That’s translated comfortably to the summer season, and could be a weapon for Golden State this season.

JULY 12 / 6:50 p.m. ET

Celtics win 87-75

Boston forced Charlotte into 24 turnovers, earning a 17-7 advantage in fast break points while shooting 14-for-35 (40%) from 3-point range to move to 2-0 this summer.

No. 40 pick Dillon Mitchell (24 pts, 8 reb, 6 stl, 2 blk) demonstrated his defensive acumen, leading the Celtics to lock down the Hornets’ attack.

Liam McNeeley (20 pts, 8 reb) and Christian Anderson (13 pts, 3 3PM) were the only two Hornets to crack double figures in the contest.

John Tonje (17 pts, 3 3PM) and Hugo González (14 pts, 3 stl) also made waves for Boston, with González operating as the lead ball-handler for much of the contest.

JULY 12 / 6:15 p.m. ET

Celtics lead Hornets early in the third

John Tonje (15 pts, 3 3PM), the No. 53 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, and Liam McNeeley (13 pts, 6 reb), the No. 29 pick in 2025, are heading up the scoring as these Eastern Conferences foes face off.

We’ve had three lead changes and six ties in this one, with the Celtics earning a 9-2 advantage in fast break points.

52-48 Celtics with 5:12 to go in the third.

JULY 12 / 6:05 p.m. ET

Thunder–Warriors getting rolling on Prime

No. 12 pick Aday Mara and No. 11 pick Yaxel Lendeborg, national championship-winning teammates with the Michigan Wolverines, lead the Thunder and Warriors into action in the Thomas & Mack Center.

For the Thunder, also keep an eye on No. 18 pick Bennett Stirtz, who had a summer-high 18 points in his last game, and the sweet-shooting Payton Sandfort.

For the Warriors, former Chicago Bull Lachlan Olbrich and Will Richard, who filled it up on occasion for the main Golden State squad this season, are players to watch. Center Graham Ike, a Gonzaga alum, has also played well in recent games.

JULY 12 / 5:55 p.m. ET

Pistons win 103-94

Chaz Lanier (23 pts, 7-for-12 3PA) and Brice Williams (21 pts, 6-for-9 3PA) went off from range to lead the Pistons over the Cavaliers, overcoming a strong effort from Meleek Thomas (30 pts).

The Cavs earned a 44-27 advantage in points in the paint and had a +5 turnover edge, but couldn’t overcome the long ball, as they shot 9-for-28 (32.1%) to the Pistons’ 16-for-33 (48.5%).

No. 17 pick Ebuka Okorie (14 pts, 6 ast, 7 stl) ground his way to an effective game for Detroit, while Nae’Qwan Tomlin (17 pts, 6 reb, 3 ast, 4 blk) was a force for Cleveland.

JULY 12 / 5:34 p.m. ET

Cavaliers-Pistons heading down to the wire

83-81 Pistons with 6:13 to go in the fourth, as we enjoy this summer rematch of the 2026 Eastern Conference Semifinals series.

Meleek Thomas (23 pts, 7 ast, 3 3PM) is leading the Cavs’ offense, while Ebuka Okorie (11 pts, 6 stl) has showed his athleticism and burst.

JULY 12 / 5:29 p.m. ET

Christian with the crossover

Christian Anderson just used a crossover and a strong screen from No. 14 pick Hannes Steinbach to shake the defender and step back for a comfortable above-the-break 3-pointer.

“Here’s Anderson, showing why he was one of the best shooters in the draft. Also very shifty,” said ESPN’s Danny Green. “A little razzle-dazzle.”

Anderson put up 18.5 ppg in his sophomore season at Texas Tech, hitting 41.5% of 7.9 3PA.

Hornets lead the Celtics 21-17 after one.

JULY 12 / 5:00 p.m. ET

Hornets–Celtics about to tip off

No. 18 pick Christian Anderson had his best game of the summer for the Hornets last time out, while No. 27 pick Chris Cenac Jr. knocked down a game-tying 3-pointer for the Celtics in their opening win and showed highlight-reel leaping ability as well.

Chaz can’t be stopped

Chaz Lanier (17 pts on 6-of-8 shooting, 5 3PM) has started off red-hot for the Pistons.

Lanier, who won the 2025 Jerry West Award as the nation’s top shooting guard, played 34 games for Detroit last season. He averaged 18.6 ppg for the Motor City Cruise over 20 games as well, hitting 39.7% of 8.7 3PA.

“He’s spotting up ready to shoot,” said John Wall. “He’s doing exactly what they set him to do.”

Cavaliers–Pistons about to get going

No. 34 pick Meleek Thomas highlights the Cavs’ roster, while No. 17 pick Ebuka Okorie had 20 points in his first outing for the Pistons.

“He’s a microwave. He can come off the bench and get anything you want for him,” said John Wall of Thomas, who shared the nation’s top scoring backcourt with Darius Acuff Jr. at Arkansas last season. “He’s a bucker-getter for sure.”

JULY 12 / 3:52 p.m. ET

Pelicans lead 41-31 at the half

Jaron Pierre Jr. (11 pts, 3 3PM, 1 reb, 1 ast) leads all scorers, as New Orleans used 9-for-20 (45%) 3-point shooting to separate from Phoenix through two quarters.

A Big Easy native, Pierre Jr. looks comfortable operating as a scorer at multiple levels.

He played at four colleges, dropping 17.6 ppg on 46.2/37.0/75.8 shooting for Southern Methodist University in his senior season.

Before that, Pierre Jr. attended St. Augustine High School in New Orleans, which counts former New Jersey Net Kerry Kittles, broadcaster Stan Verrett, rapper Jay Electronica, football players Tyrann Mathieu, Leonard Fornette and Carl Weathers, and former Sioux Falls Skyforce guard Caleb Daniels among its alumni.

JULY 12 / 3:32 p.m. ET

Maluach making plays

Khaman Maluach (4 pts, 7 reb, 1 blk) just threw down an alley-oop on one end, then rejected another on the other end.

The Duke alum is polished for Summer League play — a rim-protecting center with some shooting touch.

“He’s active, man,” said ESPN’s Danny Green. “Running the floor and doing all the little things.”

18-14 Pelicans with 7:07 to go in the second quarter.

JULY 12 / 3:02 p.m. ET

Pelicans–Suns about to tip off

Watch New Orleans’ No. 58 pick Jaron Pierre Jr., who’s a hard-nosed, talented scorer, and the athletic No. 30 pick, Phoenix’s Koa Pete in this contest.

JULY 11 / 10:15 p.m. ET

Mavericks about to face Lakers

JULY 11 / 10:07 p.m. ET

Hawks win 83-76

Kobe Johnson (17 pts) led Atlanta in scoring, while Kingston Flemings (9 pts, 7 reb, 5 ast) did a bit of everything as the Hawks finished off the Nets late.

The Nets led by as many as 13 in a game that saw eight lead changes, led by Chaney Johnson (20 pts, 10 reb) and Danny Wolf (20 pts).

But they received just eight points from their bench, compared to 48 for the Hawks.

JULY 11 / 9:52 p.m. ET

Hawks and Nets in a barn-burner

75-72 Atlanta with 3:00 to go, as Danny Wolf (20 pts, 5 reb) makes his presence felt for Brooklyn.

Wolf has a nice handle and feel at 6-foot-11, coming off a rookie year where he averaged 8.9 ppg for the Nets. He just delivered an and-one drive for the Nets, powering through the contact to flip in a layup.

JULY 11 / 9:42 p.m. ET

JULY 11 / 8:45 p.m. ET

Simpson scoring it

KJ Simpson (13 pts on 5-for-8 shooting) and Zyon Pullin (10 pts on 3-for-6 shooting) are dueling as the Nuggets take on the Timberwolves.

Overtime in the Pavilion

Braden Smith (16 pts, 5 ast) hit two free throws to tie the game at 93 and send us to overtime in Pacers-76ers, as Indiana rallied from 24-down to even the score.

Labaron Philon (22 pts) couldn’t find an angle as he tried to get off a game-winning jumper on the other end.

Bonus basketball in Vegas!

JULY 11 / 7:05 p.m. ET

Braden Smith with the slick dime

The NCAA’s all-time assist leader just dropped off a nice pass to the cutting Jalen Slawson (17 pts) in transition, showing the court vision that put him on the NBA radar.

Always a joy to watch a great passer.

Pacers have cut the 76ers lead to 86-78 with 5:12 to go in the game.

JULY 11 / 6:59 p.m. ET

Bryant with the acrobatics

Carter Bryant (14 pts on 5-for-7 shooting) just hung in the air and contorted for a layup to finish a dominant half for the Spurs, who are up 39-17 over the Knicks after two.

The 6-foot-6 wing was a participant in the AT&T Slam Dunk Contest last season. His hops always have an impact on the contest.

JULY 11 / 6:57 p.m. ET

76ers lead 80-67 after three

Yuki Kawamura, the 5-foot-7 Japanese point guard (12 pts) has it flowing for the Pacers as they seek to rally against the 76ers, putting up eight in the quarter, including a sweet stepback three-pointer a moment ago.

Labaron Philon (13 pts, 4 ast), though, answered with a 3-pointer on the other end, telling the Pacers to shush.

To cap the quarter, Braden Smith (8 pts, 3 ast) hit a baseline fadeaway jumper while falling to the floor, cutting what was a 24-point lead to 13 at the period break.

JULY 11 / 6:51 p.m. ET

One time for Trevor Keels

JULY 11 / 6:22 p.m. ET

“We’ve got a team that wants to win. Everybody’s spacing, everybody’s sharing the ball,” said Philon. “(I’m going to do) a lot of cooking.”

No. 38 pick Braden Smith (4 pts, 3 ast) is distributing for the Pacers, but no one’s yet in double figures for Indiana.

Philly shows some hallmarks of a Nick Nurse team — dynamic guards, physical forwards and bigs.

JULY 11 / 5:58 p.m. ET

Pelicans win 95-91

The Pelicans closed on a 15-2 run to surprise the Hornets, led by Hunter Dickinson (21 pts, 3 3PM, 3 reb, 3 ast).

“We’ve just got to be tougher, obviously on the glass, and with the defense, switching everything and things like that,” said Dickinson, who attended Michigan and Kansas.

Charlotte led most of the way, headed by Liam McNeeley (17 pts on 4-for-10 shooting), but New Orleans held them to 15 fourth-quarter points in mounting a comeback.

“The toughness and physicality of this New Orleans team is really impressive,” said Seth Greenberg.

Kobe Bufkin (19 pts, 6 reb, 5 ast) has scored at all three levels for the Pelicans today, stepping up as New Orleans mounts a 10-1 run to cut the Hornets’ lead to 89-87 with 2:12 remaining.

The former No. 15 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft hasn’t been especially efficient, but has a chance of scoring in all phases of the game at 6-foot-4. His development as a playmaker will be key to his future.

JULY 11 / 5:26 p.m. ET

Pacers–76ers getting started

Both these teams won close contests to open the their time in Vegas.

Colin Castleton, Jase Richardson and Lester Quinones had 15 points apiece to lead Orlando, outscoring Trevor Keels (32 pts) and Jahmir Young (27 pts), who dominated the scoring for Miami.

“As a point guard, I’m the head of the snake,” said Richardson. “Just taking it a possession at a time… Not thinking too much, but think the game.”

Noah Penda (12 pts, 7 reb, 2 stl, 2 blk) also had a strong game for the Magic.

“Miami led early,” said Brian Siemen. “Orlando dominated late.”

McNeeley going off again

Liam McNeeley (14 pts on 4-for-6 shooting, 2 3PM, 3 ast) leads all scorers as the Hornets take a 59-45 lead over the Pelicans with 9:16 to go in the third quarter.

The UConn product has a little Gordon Hayward to him — nice all-around game, with reliable, if not elite, shooting touch from deep.

JULY 11 / 4:51 p.m. ET

Magic lead 79-70 after three

Orlando won the third quarter 33-18 to storm back ahead of Miami, led by Colin Castleton (15 pts, 6 reb, 1 3PM).

This Orlando squad has plenty of depth — they’re always a threat to get back into a game.

JULY 11 / 4:22 p.m. ET

Heat lead 52-46 at the half

Miami’s shooting 50% from the field so far, taking a lead into the half behind Jahmir Young (19 pts) and Trevor Keeps (15 pts, 3 3PM).

JULY 11 / 4:03 p.m. ET

Keels stays hot

Trevor Keels (15 pts on 6-for-6 shooting) has his stroke going against the Magic. The big-bodied wing can get to his shot consistently with a solid handle, but isn’t especially explosive going to the rim.

He scored 18.7 ppg on 15.2 FGA in the G League for the Sioux Falls Skyforce last season, including shooting 40.7% on 8.3 3PA.

JULY 11 / 4:00 p.m. ET

Pelicans–Hornets getting started

The Pelicans, led by No. 58 pick Jaron Pierre Jr. and sparkplug New York City point guard Markquis Nowell, lost a competitive battle to the Timberwolves in their opening game.

JULY 11 / 3:47 p.m. ET

Heat simmering offensively

Jahmir Young (7 pts) and Trevor Keels (7 pts) have been a consistent scoring forces for the Heat so far this summer, and they’re showing it again here, leading the Miami offense with Ryan Conwell resting.

You can see the team continuity shining through at this point in the summer — the Heat are in their fifth game, and they know who their guys are.

21-18 Miami with 2:26 to go in the first quarter.

JULY 11 / 3:30 p.m. ET

Heat–Magic opens Saturday’s action

Point guard Jahmir Young, fresh off 19 points against the Bucks, leads the Miami Heat against the Orlando Magic, who feature a number of talented prospects, including forward Noah Penda, who had 23 points and five 3-pointers in his first game.

“You definitely want to be confident when you come in the game, so it’s just regular,” said Penda. “Be ready to play.”

Thunder–Lakers about to begin

Now, we have the Oklahoma City Thunder taking on the Los Angeles Lakers. Both these teams are experienced — OKC played in Salt Lake City, the Lakers in the California Classic.

For the Thunder, Payton Sandfort can shoot it, and No. 12 pick Aday Mara and No. 16 pick Bennett Stirtz are ready to star as well.

For the Lakers, No. 24 pick Cameron Carr had his moments, as did two-way player Chris Mañon, who attended Cornell and Vanderbilt.

JULY 10 / 10:12 p.m. ET

Wilson’s been impressive, both as a scorer and rangy defender, although he’s lost focus at times.

Boozer has not looked as dramatically-talented, but his skill level and consistency continue to shine through. His handle and coordination are meaningful for a forward of his size.

JULY 10 / 9:27 p.m. ET

Raptors lead 16-14 after one

Allen Graves (4 pts, 3 reb, 2 stl) and Hugo González (5 pts, 3 reb, 1 ast) did a bit of everything for the Raptors and Celtics in the first quarter, as these Atlantic Division rivals face off in the Pavilion.

New rule in play for Summer League

This summer, we’ll be testing the one free throw rule, which has been in place in the G League since the 2019-20 season.

The G League and Summer League have often served as testing labs for the league before bringing rule changes or amended policies into NBA games.

Among those that started at those levels and eventually got to the NBA: the coaches’ challenge, resetting the 24-second shot clock to 14 seconds in offensive rebound situations and the one-shot award for a transition take foul — which is when a defender intentionally commits a foul to halt a transition opportunity for the opposition.

The 2026 Summer League will also use a “connected basketball,” which contains a sensor that detects contact with the ball.
