Ware (rest) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Summer League game against the Warriors, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Ware will rest Tuesday after playing in Sunday's loss to the Lakers. The rising star played 28 minutes, finishing with 12 points, three rebounds and one block. The next opportunity for him to suit up will be Friday, when the Heat face the Hawks in Las Vegas.

Davis underwent a procedure Tuesday to repair a detached retina that he suffered during the 2024-25 regular season, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

After being traded to the Mavericks in the blockbuster deal that sent Luka Doncic to the Lakers, Davis dealt with a few injuries, which limited him to just nine regular-season games and two postseason games with his new team. Along with the adductor injury he suffered in his first game with Dallas, the veteran big man also dealt with a knee injury late in the regular season and suffered a detached retina. However, Davis is expected to be ready for training camp following the procedure he underwent Tuesday. In the nine regular-season games he played with the Mavericks, the 31-year-old averaged 20 points, 10.1 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 2.2 blocks per game, shooting 46.1 percent from the floor and 23.3 percent from three-point range.

Filipowski recorded 11 points (4-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds, three steals, one assist and one block across 30 minutes in Monday's 112-111 Summer League win over the Grizzlies.

Filipowski posted a game-best mark in rebounds en route to a double-double. He also tied the game lead in steals. Over two Summer League appearances, the 21-year-old has accumulated 33 points and 19 rebounds across 55 total minutes.

Thunder general manager Sam Presti said in a June 29 press conference that Sorber won't play in the Salt Lake City and Las Vegas Summer Leagues while the rookie center recovers from Feb. 26 surgery on his left foot. "He is still in the return-to-performance phase, and the draft process doesn't really allow for great progress in that because he is traveling all over the place," Presti said of Sorber.

Sorber, the No. 15 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, had his freshman season at Georgetown come to an end in mid-February, when he developed a case of turf toe and required a procedure. Though foot injuries for big men like the 6-foot-9, 270-pound Sorber can often present long-term concerns, the fact that his surgery addressed turf toe rather than repairing a fracture offers hope that the 19-year-old might be ready to go for the start of training camp. For what it's worth, the Thunder are listing Sorber on their summer roster, which could signal that he'll be able to practice with the team in some capacity.

The Jazz traded Collins (ankle) to the Clippers on Monday in a three-team deal that sent Norman Powell to Miami, while Utah received Kevin Love, Kyle Anderson and a 2027 second-round pick, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

After appearing in only 40 regular-season games in 2024-25, Collins exercised his $26.58 million player option for 2025-26. Given the current trajectory in Utah, it was only a matter of time before Collins' expiring contract was moved. The veteran's fit in Los Angeles remains unclear, but whether he's starting in the frontcourt with Kawhi Leonard or operating in a sixth-man role, Collins should be a key piece for the Clippers next season.

Ware produced 14 points (5-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, two steals and three blocks across 27 minutes of Saturday's 82-69 Summer League win over the Spurs.

Ware, who was selected to the NBA All-Rookie Second Team in 2024-25, is set up to be the featured player for Miami during the Summer League. Expectations will be high in his second season after he flashed his upside as a starter -- he averaged 10.8 points on 53.6 percent shooting, 10.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 blocks over 28.4 minutes per game in 36 regular-season starts. He hit a total of 31 three-pointers as a rookie at a 31.5 percent clip, and if Saturday was any indication, he's looking to expand his shot to the perimeter.

The Grizzlies signed Landale (knee) on Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

After two seasons with the Rockets, Landale was waived Thursday. However, he didn't remain a free agent for very long, as the Grizzlies signed him immediately after trading Jay Huff to the Pacers to replace Myles Turner, who had recently signed with the Bucks. Landale played in 42 regular-season games for Houston last season, averaging 4.8 points and 3.3 rebounds per game while shooting a career-high 53.3 percent from the field.

The Grizzlies traded Huff to the Pacers on Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Memphis received a second-round draft pick and a second-round pick swap in exchange for Huff. He'll help fill the void left in the frontcourt following Myles Turner's decision to sign with the Bucks. This will be the Virginia product's fifth NBA team, as he has had previous stints with the Lakers, Wizards and Nuggets. During the 2024-25 regular-season campaign with the Grizzlies, Huff averaged 6.9 points and 2.0 rebounds per game, shooting 51.5 percent from the field and 40.5 percent from beyond the arc over 64 contests.

Wagner (knee) and the Magic agreed to a one-year, $5 million deal Friday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.

Wagner is still on the mend after tearing the ACL in his left knee in December. It's not a surprise to see the Magic bring him back, however, as he was having a career-best season prior to the injury -- he posted averages of 12.9 points on 56.2 percent shooting with 4.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.8 steals over 18.8 minutes across 30 regular-season games. When he gets the green light to return, Wagner figures to carve out a decent role with the second unit.

Hayes agreed to a one-year contract with the Lakers on Thursday, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.

Hayes will return to Los Angeles for a third straight season. The veteran center will now share the frontcourt with Deandre Ayton (calf), who signed with the team Wednesday. In 56 regular-season games last season, Hayes averaged 6.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game while shooting a career-high 72.2 percent from the field.
