Dennis (Achilles) has been ruled out for Saturday's Summer League game against the Wizards, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

He split his time between the Hawks and the G League during the 2025-26 season but averaged just 11.4 minutes per game across 44 regular-season contests (two starts).

Toppin (quad/not with team) is out for Saturday's Las Vegas Summer League matchup with the Wizards, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Toppin will wind up missing Atlanta's final three Summer League games in Las Vegas. It's unclear if he'll earn a training camp invite.

Flemings (rest) won't play in Saturday's Summer League game against the Wizards, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Burries struggled from beyond in the arc in the Bucks' Summer League finale, though he still led all players in scoring while hitting the game-winning layup in the final seconds of the game. The rookie No. 10 overall pick also logged a game-high five assists, dishing out at least five dimes for a second straight game. He reached the 20-point threshold in his final three Las Vegas Summer League outings.

Reneau recorded 19 points (6-7 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one steal and one block across 18 minutes in Saturday's 103-97 Summer League win over the Celtics.

Reneau torched the nets in Orlando's Summer League finale, scoring all of his game-high 19 points in the second half. The 23-year-old big man signed an Exhibit 10 pact with the Magic in June and could end up with the team's G League affiliate, the Osceola Magic, to begin the 2026-27 campaign.

Grill provided 18 points (6-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 22 minutes during Saturday's 103-97 Las Vegas Summer League loss to the Magic.

Despite coming off the bench, Grill led the Celtics in both scoring and three-pointers made. He was one of the few Boston players to avoid a negative plus/minus, and his strong Summer League showing may have earned him a training camp invite.

Tonje recorded 14 points (6-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block over 19 minutes during Saturday's 103-97 Las Vegas Summer League loss to the Magic.

Tonje scored efficiently and led the Celtics' starters in points, but ultimately, Boston wasn't able to get the job done. Tonje is a free agent who is looking to secure another opportunity after holding a two-way contract with Boston for the latter portion of last season.
