Holmgren agreed to a fully guaranteed five-year maximum rookie contract extension with the Thunder on Wednesday that could reach $250 million, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

After missing his rookie season due to a foot injury, the 2022 No. 2 overall pick appeared in all 82 regular-season games as a sophomore. Holmgren was injured again in 2024-25, missing three months early in the season due to a hip fracture. However, he appeared in all 23 postseason contests, averaging 15.2 points, 8.7 rebounds and 1.9 blocks in 29.8 minutes per game, and he played an integral part in Oklahoma City's first NBA title. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander landed a long-term extension Tuesday, and now the Thunder will turn their sights on locking down All-NBA talent Jalen Williams (wrist).

Filipowski racked up 18 points (5-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 25 minutes in Tuesday's 86-82 Summer League win over the Thunder.

Filipowski stuffed the stat sheet, recording his second consecutive double-double in Summer League play. He recorded a game-high mark in rebounds and finished as Utah's second-leading scorer behind Walter Clayton. Filipowski has averaged 17.0 points and 11.3 rebounds across 26.6 minutes per game through three Summer League appearances.

Raynaud signed a two-year, $3.42 million contract with the Kings on Thursday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

According to Scotto, both years of the deal are fully guaranteed, and the contract includes a $2.53 million club option for 2027-28. The Kings selected the seven-foot center with the 42nd overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft after he averaged 20.2 points, 10.6 rebounds, 1.9 three-pointers, 1.7 assists, 1.4 blocks and 0.9 steals in 33.4 minutes per game over 35 appearances with Stanford during his senior season.

The Thunder re-signed Carlson on a two-way contract Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Carlson is set to remain with the Thunder on another two-way deal after originally signing the same pact with the team in February 2025. The center split time between the NBA and G League last season, appearing in 32 NBA games and averaging 3.8 points, 1.7 rebounds and 0.7 blocks on 44.3 percent shooting in 7.7 minutes per contest. His best performance came April 13 against the Pelicans, when he tallied 26 points and 10 rebounds.

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.
