    Warriors' LJ Cryer: Won't play Monday

    Cryer (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Monday's California Classic Summer League game versus the Heat.

    Cryer will skip the second leg of the back-to-back-to-back set, but he should be back for Thursday's game in Las Vegas against the Mavericks. Jack Clark and Chase Hunter will have the chance for some extended minutes Monday with Cryer unavailable.

  • Warriors' Yaxel Lendeborg: Ruled out for Monday

    Lendeborg (undisclosed) won't play in Monday's California Classic Summer League game against the Heat, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Monday marks the Warriors Gold's second game in as many nights, so Lendeborg will receive a rest day, which should open up minutes for Alex Toohey and Max Shulga. Lendeborg should return for the Warriors' first game in Las Vegas Summer League on Thursday.

  • Spurs' Ja'Kobi Gillespie: Bounces back in SL loss

    Gillespie logged 19 points (7-14 FG, 5-9 3Pt), six assists, two steals and one rebound in 31 minutes during Monday's 88-84 California Classic Summer League loss to the Lakers.

    After scoring nine points on 4-for-12 shooting in Sunday's loss to Warriors Gold, Gillespie bounced back in this one. The No. 42 overall pick in this year's draft led the Spurs in scoring and dished out a game-high six assists. He also tied for the team lead in steals.

  • Spurs' Tarris Reed: Double-doubles in loss

    Reed racked up 12 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one block over 25 minutes during Monday's 88-84 California Classic Summer League loss to the Lakers.

    Reed looked good in his return from a one-game layoff, leading the Spurs in rebounding and serving as one of the few San Antonio players to record a positive plus-minus rating in the defeat. Reed is an exciting young prospect, but it'll be tough for him to find meaningful minutes in his rookie season while the Spurs are at full strength.

  • Chris Manon SF | LAL

    Lakers' Chris Manon: Drops 24 points in SL win

    Manon supplied 24 points (7-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds, three blocks, two assists and two steals across 27 minutes in Monday's 88-84 California Classic Summer League win over the Spurs.

    Manon turned in an impressive all-around performance and led all players in scoring. The two-way player also paced the Lakers in rebounds, tied for the game high in blocks and was one of four Los Angeles players to record multiple steals. He scored at least 12 points in two of his three California Classic appearances this summer.

  • Zuby Ejiofor PF | ATL

    Hawks' Zuby Ejiofor: Strong double-double in SL

    Ejiofor posted 19 points (5-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists and a block in 25 minutes during Monday's 82-77 Utah Summer League win over the Thunder.

    Ejiofor dominated Monday, posting game-high figures in rebounds and leading the Hawks in scoring. The 23rd overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft struggled on the offensive end in his Summer League debut while going just 2-for-7 from the floor, but he was able to bounce back in his second outing. Ejiofor has recorded at least 11 rebounds in each of his two Summer League appearances, underscoring his ability on the glass.

  • Thunder's Payton Sandfort: Nets 25 points in 21 minutes

    Sandfort produced 25 points (6-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 21 minutes during Monday's 82-77 Salt Lake City Summer League loss to the Hawks.

    Sandfort led the Thunder in scoring and finished with a team-best plus-25 differential in the narrow defeat. Sandfort has played well through the first two games in Salt Lake City, and he'll look to make it three in a row Tuesday versus Utah.

  • Bucks' Brayden Burries: Set to debut Monday

    Burries (undisclosed) will play in Monday's California Classic Summer League game against the Kings.

    Burries missed Milwaukee's first two California Classic contests but will make his Summer League debut Monday. The No. 10 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft is coming off an impressive 2025-26 campaign at Arizona, averaging 16.1 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.5 steals in 29.8 minutes per contest across 39 appearances.

  • Hawks' Kingston Flemings: Swats three shots in SL win

    Flemings finished Monday's 82-77 Salt Lake City Summer League win over the Thunder with 12 points (4-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five assists, three blocks, two rebounds and one steal across 27 minutes.

    Flemings wasn't extremely efficient from the field Monday but still tied for the third-highest point total on the team. The No. 8 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft produced across the stat sheet, leading all players in assists while swatting a team-best three shots. He's racked up four combined steals-plus-blocks while scoring in double figures in both of his Summer League appearances thus far.

  • Aday Mara C | OKC

    Thunder's Aday Mara: Swats four shots in 23 minutes

    Mara contributed 10 points (3-9 FG, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and four blocks over 23 minutes during Monday's 82-77 Salt Lake City Summer League loss to the Hawks.

    Mara added a game-high five turnovers while he was out there, so it wasn't his most productive offensive outing. However, he did show his upside as a shot blocker and did a nice job battling on the boards. It remains to be seen if Mara will suit up for the second leg of this back-to-back set Tuesday versus the Jazz.
