Sarr (calf) will miss the rest of the EuroBasket tournament, but he's expected to be ready for the start of the regular season, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

The severity of the issue is unclear, though Sarr won't need surgery to address the problem. His status will still be worth monitoring this fall, as it's possible the 2024 No. 1 overall pick will have his reps limited in training camp in some capacity due to the setback. If Sarr is restricted in any way to begin the new year, Tristan Vukcevic, Anthony Gill and Marvin Bagley are the next men up on Washington's depth chart at center.

Sarr (rest) contributed seven points and four rebounds for France in Thursday's 92-64 EuroBasket victory over Belgium.

Sarr made two appearances in the Las Vegas Summer League before the Wizards shut him down, and he's since returned to action ahead of the new season. The 2024 No. 1 overall pick is looking to take another step forward in 2025-26, as Sarr averaged 15.6 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.4 steals per game following last year's All-Star break but shot just 39.5 percent from the floor during this stretch.

Kelley agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract with the Lakers on Monday, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Kelley will join the Lakers for training camp and will get the opportunity to compete for a spot on the 15-man roster or a two-way slot, though Los Angeles will retain his G League rights in the event that he gets waived before the start of the regular season. The big man appeared in 11 games between the Mavericks and Pelicans in 2024-25, averaging 3.1 points and 3.5 rebounds across 11.5 minutes per game.

Dante's (ankle) contract with the Hawks became official on Tuesday.

The Hawks signed Dante to a two-year, $4.5 million offer sheet back on Saturday, and the Rockets declined to match the deal. He's unlikely to crack the rotation early on in Atlanta, and he could see the bulk of his minutes in the G League.

Edwards was waived by the Timberwolves on Saturday.

Edwards signed a new two-way contract with the organization in June but will now have to explore other opportunities. The 25-year-old big man spent most of the 2024-25 campaign with the team's G League affiliate, the Iowa Wolves, during which he averaged 11.9 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.4 assists across 25.1 minutes per game in 34 outings.

The Hawks signed Dante to a two-year, $4.5 million offer sheet, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Dante has agreed to an unprecedented deal, signing an offer sheet as a two-way restricted free agent. He played four regular-season games with Houston during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 6.0 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game while shooting 76.9 percent from the field.

Williams signed a two-way contract with the Celtics on Friday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Boston has now filled all three of their two-way roster slots. Williams was selected by the Celtics with the No. 46 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft and figures to spend the bulk of his time in Maine playing in the G League right out of the gate.

Boucher (illness) has agreed to sign a one-year, $3.3 million contract with the Celtics, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

After spending the last seven years with the Raptors, Boucher will land with Boston to help shore up the team's new-look frontcourt. It's plausible that veteran big man will open the 2025-26 season in a starting role, considering Boston has left Al Horford unsigned in addition to trading away Kristaps Porzingis and Georges Niang this offseason. Over 50 regular-season contests last year, Boucher averaged 10.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 0.7 assists and 1.4 three-pointers in 17.2 minutes per game.

Sarr signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Raptors on Friday, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Sarr will compete for a spot on Toronto's regular-season roster in training camp after suffering a ruptured Achilles in April 2024 while playing for the G League's Oklahoma City Blue. The 26-year-old center appeared in 15 regular-season games for the Thunder on a two-way contract during the 2023-24 campaign, averaging 2.3 points and 2.4 rebounds across 6.5 minutes per game. He also averaged 14.0 points, 13.0 rebounds and 2.2 blocks in 28.2 minutes per game with the Blue that season.

The Raptors waived Castleton on Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Castleton played a fairly significant role down the stretch of the 2024-25 season for the injury-riddled Raptors, averaging 7.2 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 26.2 minutes per game over 11 regular-season outings with Toronto. However, the team has decided to go in a different direction ahead of the 2025-26 campaign. With Castleton now out of the mix, Collin Murray-Boyles, Jonathan Mogbo and Sandro Mamukelashvili are set to battle for frontcourt minutes off the bench.
