The 6-foot-6 guard from the Dominican Republic was the only Spurs player to reach double figures as he led the way with 25 points (9-for-14 FGs, 3-for-5 3-pointers), six rebounds and five assists in the close loss to Los Angeles. His last-second, game-winning shot attempt came up short for San Antonio. The 23-year-old averaged 24.5 points over 31 games in the G League last season.
Tyler Burton, Memphis Grizzlies
Burton shined off the bench for Memphis in Tuesday’s loss to Philadelphia. The 25-year-old wing from Villanova scored 23 points (7-for-12 FGs) with five 3-pointers to go along with nine rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 25 minutes. Burton played eight games for the Memphis Hustle in the G League during the 2024-25 season.

The 24-year-old’s NBA experience was on full display in Miami’s dominant 93-79 win over Golden State. Lewis, the 13th pick in the 2020 Draft, tallied 16 points on 7-for-10 shooting and four assists to lead the Heat, who finished with a 2-1 record at the California Classic. Lewis played with the Pelicans, Raptors and Jazz over four NBA seasons before the 2024-25 season with the Capital City Go-Go in the G League.
Ajay Mitchell, Oklahoma City Thunder
The NBA champ, who was selected with the 38th pick in the 2024 Draft, led the way for OKC with 19 points (11 in the first quarter), eight assists, five rebounds and two steals in the loss to Utah. Mitchell, a 6-foot-5 guard from Belgium, averaged 6.5 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists over 36 games with the Thunder last season.
Pelle Larsson, Miami Heat
Larsson filled the box score in 22 minutes of action. The 44th pick in the 2024 Draft tallied 15 points, five rebounds and four assists in Miami’s win. Larsson, a 24-year-old guard from Sweden, was solid in limited action for the Heat during his rookie season, with averages of 4.6 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists over 55 games (and eight starts).
Jackson Rowe, Golden State Warriors
The 6-foot-7 forward was the leading scorer for Golden State with 14 points over 23 minutes in the loss to Miami. Rowe played six games for the Warriors last season on a two-way contract, and he’s played in the G League with the Santa Cruz Warriors for the past two seasons.
