Coward finished with 23 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 24 minutes in Thursday's 96-64 Summer League win over the Hawks.

Coward recorded a double-double in his first two appearances in the Las Vegas Summer League. Although he hasn't reached that mark since, he finished with 23 points Thursday, his highest-scoring performance during his time in Las Vegas. The 2025 No. 11 overall pick is coming off a quality 2025-26 campaign, averaging 13.6 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists over 25.8 minutes in 62 regular-season appearances. As long as Coward can stay healthy, he is expected to build on his production from last season in 2026-27.

Boozer totaled 24 points (10-13 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Thursday's 96-64 Summer League win over the Hawks.

Boozer put on an impressive display on the offensive end as he managed to bounce back from a sluggish 4-for-12 showing from the field Tuesday against Golden State. He combined with Cedric Coward to score 47 of the team's 96 points on the way to a victory, helping Memphis improve to 3-1 in Las Vegas Summer League play.

Clayton (knee) didn't play in Thursday's 96-64 Summer League win over the Hawks.

Clayton is working through a right knee sprain, so the team elected to sit him down for Thursday's clash. It's unclear if he'll be able to return over the weekend.

McKneely won't return to Thursday's Summer League game against the Grizzlies due to a right shoulder injury, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

The Hawks fell behind by a large margin early, so there's no need to push McKneely back into action after he picked up a shoulder injury Thursday night. He can be considered day-to-day until further notice.

Wilson finished with 21 points (7-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block over 24 minutes in Thursday's 105-82 Summer League loss to the Lakers.

Wilson erupted for 35 points in the 97-96 loss to Memphis to begin his time in the Las Vegas Summer League. He hasn't been as productive since, though he has shown signs of promise. Wilson has an opportunity to contribute immediately with Chicago during the 2026-27 campaign. However, his ceiling won't be as high if he continues to commit turnovers while failing to improve his three-point shooting.

Cryer recorded 17 points (6-13 FG, 5-12 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists and two steals in 27 minutes during Thursday's 87-77 Summer League win over the Knicks.

Cryer showcased his shooting ability early and often in this one by scoring 15 of his 17 points from downtown. He paced the Warriors in scoring, though he also committed a team-high four turnovers. Overall, this was another strong showing out of the second-year guard, who will enter training camp looking to earn more opportunities in 2026-27.

Barnhizer finished with 21 points (8-16 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-5 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block across 29 minutes in Thursday's 97-87 loss to Dallas.

Barnhizer had his most productive game of the Las Vegas Summer League on Thursday while recording his third double-double. The 24-year-old appeared in 40 regular-season games for the Thunder during the 2025-26 campaign, averaging 1.7 points, 2.0 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.1 blocks and 0.3 steals over 8.7 minutes. Barnhizer will presumably spend most of his time in the G League in 2026-27. While that doesn't mean he won't see action with the Thunder, he will likely be utilized sparingly.

Ike logged 15 points (4-10 FG, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, one steal and three blocks in 26 minutes during Thursday's 87-77 Summer League win over the Knicks.

Ike looked much more polished on the offensive end after finishing with six points in his previous showing Tuesday against Memphis. He also had his way at the rim, falling one rebound shy of a double-double while leading Golden State in swats. Ike is on an Exhibit 10 deal with the Warriors and will enter training camp looking to prove he's deserving of a roster spot.

Manon totaled 16 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 19 minutes during Thursday's 105-82 Summer League win over the Bulls.

Manon put together a polished shooting performance, joining Cameron Carr and Adou Thiero as the three starters to score in double figures. Manon put pen to paper on a two-way deal with LA earlier this month and appears destined to spend the majority of his time playing in the G League during the upcoming 2026-27 campaign.

Carr registered 14 points (5-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one steal in 22 minutes during Thursday's 105-82 Summer League win over the Bulls.

Carr put together a decent effort offensively, and while he couldn't get a shot to fall from beyond the arc, his production from the field helped the Lakers to a 4-0 Summer League record. The rookie has been putting together an impressive showing thus far in Summer League play, and assuming the Lakers don't shut him down, he'll have additional opportunities to get run over the weekend.
