NBA Player News

Ejiofor (rest) is out for Monday's Summer League game against Boston, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

The Hawks are giving several key players the day off Monday. Ejiofor's next chance to play comes Thursday against Memphis.

Williams (undisclosed) is out for Monday's Summer League game against Atlanta, according to Jack Simone of BostonSportsJournal.com.

This could be a planned maintenance day for Williams. He's appeared in two Summer League games thus far with averages of 12.0 points, 9.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists.

The Magic announced Monday that Nelson will undergo surgery to repair a fracture in his left ankle, and he's expected to return to basketball activities in 3-4 months.

Nelson sustained the fracture during Sunday's Summer League win over Portland and is now in danger of missing the start of the 2026-27 campaign. The No. 51 overall pick in this year's draft signed a two-way contract with the Magic and isn't expected to have a consistent role with the parent club once he returns.

Brown finished with four points (1-1 FG, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, four steals and one block across 29 minutes during Sunday's 90-80 Las Vegas Summer League win over the Bucks.

Brown dominated the offensive glass, grabbing seven of his nine rebounds on that end while also flashing some impressive playmaking ability. Brown has elite defensive upside, but the Spurs will likely bring him along slowly.

Raynaud produced 20 points (7-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Sunday's 104-85 Las Vegas Summer League loss to the Wizards.

Raynaud dominated the glass and consistently created second-chance opportunities for the Kings, grabbing five of his rebounds on the offensive end. He's a double-double machine when given the minutes, but his upside will remain muted as long as Domantas Sabonis is healthy and in Sacramento.

Castleton contributed 21 points (10-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block across 33 minutes in Sunday's 112-105 Summer League win over the Trail Blazers in overtime.

Castleton struggled from the charity stripe but was efficient from the field and finished as Orlando's second-leading scorer. The big man was also second on the team in rebounds. He's recorded at least 15 points and seven rebounds in back-to-back outings.

Reed (rest) won't suit up for Sunday's Las Vegas Summer League game against the Bucks, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

It's the second night of a back-to-back set, so Reed will get hit with a maintenance day. He should return for Wednesday's meeting with the Jazz.

Mara logged 10 points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and one block across 24 minutes in Sunday's 104-79 Summer League loss to the Warriors.

After scoring two points on 0-of-3 shooting from the field in Friday's loss to Los Angeles, Mara turned in an efficient performance Sunday and finished as Oklahoma City's third-leading scorer. The big man out of Michigan also led the team in rebounds, finishing one board shy of his first double-double across four outings between the Salt Lake City and Las Vegas Summer Leagues.

Maluach recorded 15 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 28 minutes during the Suns' 81-75 Summer League loss to the Pelicans on Sunday.

It was the second double-double in as many Summer League games for Maluach, who hauled in 15 of the Suns' 41 rebounds while finishing as the team's second-leading scorer behind Darius Brown (18 points). Maluach was a first-round pick of the Suns in the 2025 NBA Draft but averaged just 8.9 minutes per game in his rookie season. He figures to enter training camp competing with Oso Ighodaro for backup minutes at center behind Mark Williams (foot).

Raynaud (rest) is available for Sunday's Summer League game against the Wizards, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Raynaud is set to make his 2026 Summer League debut after sitting out Thursday's win over the Clippers. The 2025 second-rounder is coming off an impressive rookie campaign with Sacramento, averaging 12.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 26.5 minutes per game over 74 regular-season appearances (56 starts) in 2025-26.
