Richmond came through with 11 points (4-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two steals over 28 minutes in Tuesday's 99-87 Las Vegas Summer League loss to the Bulls.

Richmond led the Wizards in rebounds, but he also committed four of the team's 24 turnovers. Washington struggled offensively as a whole, shooting 29-of-69 from the field and 6-of-22 from beyond the arc in the blowout loss.

Christie (ankle) won't play in Tuesday's Summer League game versus the Lakers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Christie had seven points, nine rebounds, one assist and one steal across 26 minutes in Sunday's 104-82 Summer League win over Utah. His next opportunity to suit up will come Wednesday against Washington, though it won't be surprising if he doesn't play in that contest.

Richard finished with 11 points (4-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block over 26 minutes in Tuesday's 106-85 loss to Golden State.

Richard finally reached double figures in scoring Tuesday, though he also committed a game-high five turnovers. The 23-year-old wasn't overly productive in his first season in the NBA. However, in his 21 regular-season starts, he averaged 8.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.1 blocks and 1.3 steals over 24.4 minutes. Richard will look to earn minutes with the Warriors during the 2026-27 campaign, with his clearest path to playing time likely coming if several players on the roster suffer injuries.

Lendeborg recorded 15 points (6-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and two steals over 29 minutes during Tuesday's 106-85 Las Vegas Summer League loss to the Grizzlies.

Lendeborg shot 5-for-14 from the field in his previous outing, so it was nice to see him snap back with an efficient scoring effort. He's shown impressive playmaking ability and a knack for pulling down rebounds in Las Vegas.

Small finished with 26 points (7-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, seven assists, one steal and two blocks across 27 minutes in Tuesday's 106-85 Summer League win over the Warriors.

Small had only three points in Monday's 96-88 loss to Dallas. However, he responded resoundingly versus Golden State, scoring a game-high 26 points. The 23-year-old didn't see routine work in his 41 regular-season appearances with Memphis in 2025-26. Still, Small stepped up when needed, averaging 13.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 0.1 blocks and 1.2 steals over 27.0 minutes in 12 regular-season starts. He is expected to spend most of his time in the G League during the 2026-27 campaign, though he should still receive minutes sporadically with the Grizzlies.

Boozer contributed 12 points (4-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and three steals over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 106-85 Las Vegas Summer League win over the Warriors.

Boozer has been struggling offensively over the past two games, going 11-for-29 from the field and 3-for-11 from distance, but he's found other ways to be effective. He recorded three steals for the second straight game and led the Grizzlies in rebounding in the blowout win. The Grizzlies have gone 2-1 to begin their Las Vegas run.

Wolf finished with 14 points (5-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 20 minutes in Tuesday's 115-83 Summer League win over Sacramento.

Wolf ended with only nine points in his first Las Vegas Summer League appearance. Since then, the 22-year-old has reached double figures in scoring in his last two Summer League games, though he's shot an inefficient 0-for-6 from deep during that span. Wolf, the 2025 No. 27 overall pick, finished his rookie year by averaging 8.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.6 blocks and 0.5 steals over 20.8 minutes in 57 regular-season games. He should see routine action in 2026-27, potentially making a few starts here and there when necessary.

Powell finished with 18 points (6-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, two steals and one block across 21 minutes in Tuesday's 115-83 Summer League win over the Kings.

Powell combined for just five points in his first two Las Vegas Summer League appearances. However, he turned it around Tuesday to finish second on the team in scoring behind Egor Demin, who ended with 22 points. Powell, the 2025 No. 22 overall pick, had a few quality performances in his 63 regular-season appearances during the 2025-26 campaign, though he was unproductive more often than not. While the 20-year-old is still adjusting to life at the NBA level, he will be expected to play better in 2026-27.

Sharp racked up 23 points (7-12 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four steals and one block over 23 minutes during Tuesday's 115-83 Las Vegas Summer League loss to the Nets.

It was the Sharp and Darius Acuff Show on Tuesday, as the rookie duo combined for 49 of Sacramento's 83 points. Sharp caught fire from deep, knocking down a game-high six three-pointers, and he was a disruptive force on the defensive end, finishing with six stocks. However, with little offensive support from the rest of the roster, the Kings were blown out for the second straight game in Las Vegas.

Demin (rest) finished with 22 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and four steals across 23 minutes in Tuesday's 115-83 Summer League win over Sacramento.

Demin didn't play in Saturday's meeting with the Hawks, but he was back in action Tuesday. He finished with a team-high 22 points, though he shot an inefficient 1-for-5 from behind the arc. However, outside of Demin's shooting woes from downtown, he reached the 20-point mark in his second consecutive Las Vegas Summer League appearance. The 20-year-old averaged 10.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 0.3 blocks and 0.8 steals while shooting 38.5 percent from deep over 25.2 minutes in 52 regular-season games before his inaugural campaign ended abruptly because of a foot injury. With that in mind, as long as Demin stays healthy in 2026-27, he should have more opportunities to build on his production from his rookie year.
