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.

Hansen (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's Summer League game against the Magic.

Hansen is under the weather and will miss the front end of this back-to-back set. The big man's next chance to play will come Monday against the Timberwolves.

Ejiofor registered 13 points (3-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), six rebounds, three blocks, two assists and two steals across 27 minutes in Saturday's 83-76 Summer League win over Brooklyn.

Ejiofor was a pest defensively, compiling five stocks while anchoring Atlanta in the paint. The big man also made an impact offensively, scoring in double figures and knocking down a pair of triples. Ejiofor has shown flashes of promise so far in the Summer League, though carving out a consistent frontcourt role during the regular season could prove difficult with Jock Landale (ankle), Mouhamed Gueye and fellow rookie Henri Veesaar all vying for minutes behind starting center Onyeka Okongwu.

Kaufman-Renn (mouth) has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's Summer League game against Denver. He'll close with no points (0-1 FG) in one minute.

Kaufman-Renn exited due to a mouth contusion after a brief appearance. The 2026 second-round pick's next opportunity to suit up will come Monday against Portland.

Beringer has been ruled out for Saturday's Summer League game against the Nuggets due to back tightness.

Beringer will miss Minnesota's second Las Vegas Summer League outing with the back issue. His next opportunity to play will come Monday against Portland.

Dickinson finished Saturday's 95-91 Summer League win over the Hornets with 21 points (9-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 26 minutes.

Dickinson was aggressive hunting his shot Saturday and finished with a game-high 21 points. The big man also led all players in triples made and was third on the Pelicans in assists. The 25-year-old signed another two-way pact with New Orleans and figures to spend most of his time with the club's G League affiliate, the Birmingham Squadron, in 2026-27.

Maluach finished with 19 points (7-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds, two steals and one block across 26 minutes in Friday's 81-79 Summer League win over Portland.

Maluach had a 19-point, 11-rebound double-double to begin his time in Las Vegas. He was efficient from deep, though he had trouble taking care of the ball and committed a game-high seven turnovers. The 2025 No. 10 overall pick appeared in 46 regular-season games for Phoenix during the 2025-26 campaign, finishing with averages of 3.0 points, 2.9 rebounds, 0.1 assists, 0.7 blocks and 0.1 steals over 8.9 minutes. Maluach is currently listed behind Mark Williams and Oso Ighodaro on the depth chart, but he will likely need to clean up some things before earning consistent minutes for the Suns in 2026-27.

Hansen finished Friday's 81-79 Summer League loss to the Suns with 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), nine rebounds and four assists over 26 minutes.

The second-year center led the Trail Blazers in rebounds, finishing one board shy of a double-double, while ending as the team's third-leading scorer behind DJ Steward (21 points) and Frankie Fidler (13 points). Hansen averaged just 7.0 minutes per game across 43 regular-season contests during the 2025-26 campaign, and he'll battle against Robert Williams for the backup center role behind Donovan Clingan for the upcoming season.

Williams ended with 23 points (7-9 FG, 5-8 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 29 minutes in Friday's 83-80 Summer League overtime win over Toronto.

Williams appeared in 22 regular-season games for the Celtics during the 2025-26 campaign, averaging 1.4 points, 1.8 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 0.5 blocks and 0.1 steals across 6.6 minutes. The 24-year-old got off to an excellent start to Summer League, scoring a game-high 23 points while simultaneously recording a double-double. With that in mind, even if Williams continues to play well throughout his time in Las Vegas, it still may not improve his chances of earning a stable role in the Celtics' rotation in 2026-27.
