Mitchell (rest) has been ruled out for Saturday's Summer League game against the Magic, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

Mitchell will sit out the Celtics' Summer League finale, marking his second straight game on the inactive list for rest purposes. Over three Las Vegas Summer League outings, he averaged 13.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.7 steals, 1.3 assists and 1.3 blocks in 26.0 minutes per showing.

Gonzalez (rest) won't play in Saturday's Summer League game against Orlando, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

Gonzalez will sit out the Celtics' Summer League finale after dropping 24 points in Wednesday's win over the Kings. Over three Las Vegas Summer League appearances, he averaged 18.3 points, 8.0 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.7 steals in 34.7 minutes per tilt.

Cisse agreed to a two-year, $4.7 million offer sheet with the Knicks on Saturday, Jake Fischer of BleacherReport.com reports.

After receiving a two-way qualifying offer from the Mavericks earlier in the offseason, Cisse entered restricted free agency and appears to have found a match with the Knicks. In 38 appearances at the NBA level in 2025-26, the big man averaged 4.5 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 13.9 minutes per contest. Dallas has until 11:59 p.m. ET on Monday to match the offer, or Cisse will officially head to New York, who could be viewing the second-year center as a candidate to push Andre Drummond for the top backup role behind Karl-Anthony Towns.

Wagler closed with 26 points (9-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 28 minutes in Friday's 128-120 Summer League win over the Timberwolves.

Wagler sat out Wednesday's win over the Wizards for rest purposes but returned to action in the Clippers' Summer League finale. The rookie out of Illinois didn't have his most efficient game from beyond the arc but was solid from two-point range en route to a game-high 26 points. He'll now look toward his rookie campaign, during which he's expected to play a sizable role alongside Darius Garland.

Sanders (rest) did not participate in the Clippers' 128-120 Summer League overtime win over the Timberwolves on Friday.

Sanders played well in his four Summer League outings and finished strong with 26 points, five assists, three rebounds and one steal over 32 minutes against the Wizards on Wednesday. The 2025 second-rounder averaged 19.9 minutes per game across 68 regular-season contests (19 starts) in his rookie year. Sanders could operate in an expanded role in the upcoming season, even with both Brandon Ingram (heel) and Bennedict Mathurin ahead of him on the depth chart.

Christie (ankle) didn't play in Friday's 128-120 Summer League win over the Timberwolves in overtime.

Christie ended Summer League with a third consecutive absence due to left ankle soreness. The 2024 second-rounder doesn't figure to see significant minutes for the Clippers in his third year in the Association. He averaged just 8.7 minutes per game across 55 regular-season appearances in 2025-26.

Hansen recorded nine points (3-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 24 minutes during Friday's 83-79 Summer League loss to the Jazz.

Hansen led the Blazers in rebounds and was one point shy from recording his second double-double over his last three Summer League games. The 2025 first-rounder is set to enter training camp battling with Robert Williams, Sidy Cissoko and Micah Potter for the backup center job behind Donovan Clingan for the 2026-27 season.

Donaldson racked up 20 points (8-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 assists, eight rebounds and one steal across 37 minutes in Friday's 101-87 Summer League win over the Pistons.

Donaldson caught fire in the Heat's Summer League finale, finishing as the team's second-leading scorer. The 22-year-old point guard also paced all players in assists, dishing out at least eight dimes for a second consecutive contest. He also grabbed a game-high eight boards. The University of Miami product is signed to a two-way deal and is expected to see most of his playing time with the G League's Sioux Falls Skyforce in 2026-27.

Williams finished Friday's 101-87 Summer League loss to Miami with 15 points (5-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal over 25 minutes.

Williams didn't take a lot of shots during Friday's contest, but he was efficient enough to finish as the Pistons' second-leading scorer behind Ebuka Okorie (27 points). Williams spent the entire 2025-26 season in the G League with the Motor City Cruise, and he figures to do the same in the upcoming season unless he cracks a NBA team's 15-man roster at the end of training camp.

Okorie posted 27 points (8-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 28 minutes during the Pistons' 101-87 Summer League loss to the Heat on Friday.

Okorie made most of his scoring impact just before and after halftime, scoring 21 of his game-high 27 points across the second and third quarters of Friday's game. The rookie first-rounder has been solid across his five outings in the Summer League and figures to compete with Daniss Jenkins, Kevin Huerter, Isaiah Joe and Gary Harris for backcourt minutes off the bench behind starters Cade Cunningham and Duncan Robinson.
