Williams recorded 17 points (8-13 FG, 1-1 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks across 34 minutes during Saturday's 103-102 Summer League overtime win over the Hawks.

Williams put his athleticism on display with some thunderous throw-downs, though he could have done a better job of taking care of the rock, as he committed six turnovers. Still, the Jazz escaped with an overtime win and will look to keep the momentum going Monday against the Grizzlies.

Peterson popped off for 28 points (11-21 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 27 minutes during Saturday's 103-102 Summer League overtime win over the Hawks.

Peterson showed off his defensive hustle with a chase-down block early in the game, and he wasn't shy about asserting himself on offense. The No. 2 overall pick carved up the Hawks' defense with ease before icing the game with a clutch step-back three in the closing seconds of overtime. The rookie will look to build on the performance Monday against Memphis.

Ejiofor racked up eight points (2-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and three steals across 28 minutes during Saturday's 103-102 Summer League overtime loss to the Jazz.

Ejiofor flashed his elite defensive instincts, recording two steals in his first six minutes while also doing an excellent job on the glass. The 6-foot-8 big man created numerous second-chance opportunities for Atlanta, grabbing seven of his 11 rebounds on the offensive end, and he finished with a plus-10 differential in the narrow loss.

Flemings tallied 14 points (4-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine assists, one rebound and four steals over 28 minutes during Saturday's 103-102 Summer League overtime loss to the Jazz.

While Flemings struggled to find his shot, he did an excellent job setting up his teammates, finishing with nine assists and just one turnover. He also disrupted passing lanes on the defensive end and knocked down a few clutch shots late to keep the Hawks within striking distance. The No. 8 overall pick in this year's NBA Draft will look for a more efficient outing Monday against the Thunder.

Ryan finished with 13 points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT) across 18 minutes in Saturday's 97-83 California Classic Summer League win over Warriors Blue.

Ryan had 13 points, though he struggled shooting the ball while failing to contribute in other statistical areas. The 27-year-old played relatively well in 11 regular-season games with Milwaukee in 2025-26, averaging 14.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.5 blocks and 1.0 steals on 45.8 percent shooting from downtown over 24.6 minutes. Ryan may not see routine playing time for the Bucks in 2026-27. However, he might have an opportunity to carve out a meaningful role off the bench.

Nembhard finished with 15 points (4-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and three assists over 21 minutes in Saturday's 97-83 California Classic Summer League loss to Milwaukee.

Although Nembhard didn't have a quality shooting performance, he still had a team-high 15 points. The 23-year-old recently had his $2.2 million team option picked up by the Mavericks. While he wasn't a routine producer for the Mavs during the 2025-26 campaign, he stepped up when needed by averaging 9.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 0.4 steals on 40.4 percent shooting from deep across 25.7 minutes in 27 regular-season starts. Nembhard likely won't see consistent playing time for Dallas in 2026-27, though he could receive sporadic opportunities to start when necessary.

Boston finished with 17 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 23 minutes in Saturday's 97-83 California Classic Summer League victory over Warriors Blue.

Despite coming off the bench, Boston finished with a game-high 17 points while shooting an efficient 66.7 percent from the field. The 24-year-old began his NBA career with the Clippers, where he spent three seasons. He most recently appeared in 42 regular-season games for the Pelicans during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 10.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.2 blocks and 1.3 steals over 23.6 minutes. With that in mind, Boston could get another opportunity to suit up for an NBA team in 2026-27, especially if he continues to play well this summer.

Mara registered 10 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one steal and two blocks over 22 minutes during Saturday's 111-74 Summer League loss to the Grizzlies.

Mara did a nice job of asserting himself in the paint, and he also flashed some solid playmaking upside. He'll help back up the center spot in Oklahoma City during his rookie season, but his minutes will likely be relegated to the teens or lower while the team is at full strength.

Coward (back) totaled 11 points (3-13 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one steal and two blocks across 25 minutes during Saturday's 111-74 Summer League win over the Thunder.

Coward missed the final two games of the 2025-26 season with a minor back issue, but suiting up for an exhibition game in Salt Lake City indicates he's fully recovered. Coward couldn't find his footing offensively Saturday, but he did a nice job on defense and attacking the glass. He'll look to bounce back with a more productive offensive outing in Monday's matchup with the Jazz.

Markovic recorded 16 points (8-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal over 25 minutes during the Bucks' 97-83 win over the Warriors Blue on Saturday at the California Classic Summer League.

Markovic scored 10 of his 16 points in the second half and led all Bucks starters while finishing as the team's second-leading scorer behind Brandon Boston (17 points). Markovic signed a second-round pick exception with the Bucks on Wednesday and will likely see most of his playing time in the G League with the Wisconsin Herd during the 2026-27 season.
