Cisse will return to the Mavericks after Dallas matched the two-year, $4.7 million offer sheet he received from the Knicks on Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Dallas wasted little time matching the Knicks' offer to keep Cisse in the fold, though the 6-foot-11 center will now occupy a standard roster spot after serving as a two-way player as a undrafted rookie in 2025-26. He appeared in 38 games at the NBA level last season, shooting 57.4 percent from the field while averaging 4.5 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 13.9 minutes per game. Cisse may have a tough time cracking the rotation with regularity in 2026-27 if Dereck Lively (foot) and Daniel Gafford are fully healthy. The Mavericks also acquired Santi Aldama and Morez Johnson earlier in the offseason and could also look to incorporate them at center.

Reed (rest) won't play in Saturday's Summer League game against the Suns, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Reed will hit the inactive list for the Spurs' Summer League finale. The rookie first-rounder will finish the Las Vegas Summer League with averages of 7.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.7 steals in 23.1 minutes per game across three outings.

Ike notched 16 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds and one assist across 26 minutes in Saturday's 92-88 win over the Lakers in the Las Vegas Summer League Semifinals.

Ike turned in an efficient performance and tied for the team lead in scoring. The big man also paced all players in rebounds en route to his first Summer League double-double. Ike and the Warriors will now turn their focus to Sunday's Las Vegas Summer League Championship against the Grizzlies.

Okpara posted 12 points (6-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists and one block across 27 minutes in Saturday's 91-83 Summer League win over the Hawks.

Okpara sat out Wednesday's loss to the Clippers but returned to action for the Wizards' Summer League finale. The rookie big man scored in double figures for the first time in Summer League play, finishing as Washington's fourth-leading scorer. He also led the squad in rebounds. Okpara is signed to a two-way contract and will likely see most of his playing time with the G League's Capital City Go-Go in 2026-27.

Ejiofor (rest) won't play in Saturday's Summer League game against the Wizards, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Ejiofor will be held out of Atlanta's Summer League finale for rest purposes, marking his third straight absence. The rookie big man averaged 12.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks in 25.5 minutes per game across two Las Vegas Summer League outings.

Castleton (rest) has been ruled out for Saturday's Summer League game against the Celtics, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Castle will be sidelined for the Magic's Summer League finale for rest purposes. The big man made four appearances in Las Vegas, averaging 13.2 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 24.2 minutes per contest. The 26-year-old inked a two-way pact with Orlando earlier in the offseason and is likely to spend most of the 2026-27 campaign in the G League.

Cisse agreed to a two-year, $4.7 million offer sheet with the Knicks on Saturday, Jake Fischer of BleacherReport.com reports.

After receiving a two-way qualifying offer from the Mavericks earlier in the offseason, Cisse entered restricted free agency and appears to have found a match with the Knicks. In 38 appearances at the NBA level in 2025-26, the big man averaged 4.5 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 13.9 minutes per contest. Dallas has until 11:59 p.m. ET on Monday to match the offer, or Cisse will officially head to New York, who could be viewing the second-year center as a candidate to push Andre Drummond for the top backup role behind Karl-Anthony Towns.

Hansen recorded nine points (3-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 24 minutes during Friday's 83-79 Summer League loss to the Jazz.

Hansen led the Blazers in rebounds and was one point shy from recording his second double-double over his last three Summer League games. The 2025 first-rounder is set to enter training camp battling with Robert Williams, Sidy Cissoko and Micah Potter for the backup center job behind Donovan Clingan for the 2026-27 season.

Beringer (back) has been ruled out for Friday's Summer League game against the Clippers.

Beringer will end up missing the Timberwolves' final four games of the Summer League due to lower-back tightness. The 2025 first-rounder averaged just 7.9 minutes per game across 40 regular-season contests during his rookie campaign. However, with Naz Reid now in Charlotte, Beringer figures to operate as Minnesota's backup center behind Rudy Gobert for the 2026-27 season.

Raynaud (rest) is out for Friday's Summer League game against Charlotte, per Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140.

Raynaud is sitting out the Las Vegas Summer League finale Friday. The 2025 second-rounder is set to compete with Dylan Cardwell for backup center minutes behind Domantas Sabonis (knee) during training camp in the fall.
