    Raptors' Chucky Hepburn: Won't play Monday

    Hepburn (knee) is out for Monday's Summer League game against the Pacers, per Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca.

    Magic's Izaiyah Nelson: To undergo surgery

    The Magic announced Monday that Nelson will undergo surgery to repair a fracture in his left ankle, and he's expected to return to basketball activities in 3-4 months.

    Nelson sustained the fracture during Sunday's Summer League win over Portland and is now in danger of missing the start of the 2026-27 campaign. The No. 51 overall pick in this year's draft signed a two-way contract with the Magic and isn't expected to have a consistent role with the parent club once he returns.

  • Jazz's Darryn Peterson: Won't play Monday

    Peterson (rest) has been ruled out for Monday's Las Vegas Summer League game against the Bulls, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

    Peterson will skip the second leg of a back-to-back set, but he should be back in action for Wednesday's game against the Spurs. With Peterson on the sidelines, Bez Mbeng could get some time to shine in a starting role.

  • Cody Williams SF | MIN

    Jazz's Cody Williams: Won't play Monday

    Williams (rest) has been ruled out for Monday's Las Vegas Summer League game against the Bulls, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

    Monday's matchup will mark the second game of a back-to-back set, so Williams will receive a rest day. Darryn Peterson (rest) and Ace Bailey (back) will join Williams on the inactive list Monday, so guys like Orlando Robinson and Blake Hinson will be asked to step it up on offense.

  • Ace Bailey SF | UTA

    Jazz's Ace Bailey: Exits with back spasms Sunday

    Bailey exited Sunday's Las Vegas Summer League loss to the Clippers with back spasms and did not return, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

    Bailey only managed to make it through eight minutes before aggravating his back, and it's already been announced he will miss Monday's meeting with the Bulls. The Jazz will likely be extra cautious with Bailey's back issue during these exhibition games, so for now, he should be considered doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.

  • Jazz's Darryn Peterson: Nets 23 points with four stocks

    Peterson finished with 23 points (6-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-8 FT), two rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocks over 26 minutes during Sunday's 104-82 Las Vegas Summer League loss to the Clippers.

    Peterson showcased his explosiveness with a vicious throwdown early in the game, and while he didn't have his most efficient outing, he did an excellent job drawing contact and getting to the free-throw line. He's been one of the standout performers at Summer League, elevating expectations for his already highly anticipated rookie season.
