Penda (rest) won't play in Sunday's Summer League game against Portland.

Penda will be held out of the second leg of this back-to-back set. His next chance to play will come Wednesday against Philadelphia.

Okorie posted 14 points (5-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), six assists, three rebounds and seven steals over 31 minutes during the Pistons' 103-94 Summer League win over the Cavaliers on Sunday.

Okorie finished as the Pistons' fourth-leading scorer despite his inefficiencies from the field, but he more than made up for it on the defensive side of the floor, where he accounted for seven of the team's 13 steals. Okorie was selected by the Pistons with the No. 17 pick of the 2026 NBA Draft, and strong play on defense should earn him consistent minutes in his rookie season, with his main competition for playing time coming from Daniss Jenkins and Isaiah Joe.

Tomlin finished with 17 points (7-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one steal and four blocks across 29 minutes in Sunday's 103-94 Summer League loss to Detroit.

After scoring 20 points in Friday's 99-93 Summer League loss to Indiana, Tomlin had another quality offensive performance Sunday. He also had four blocks, tying the rest of his Cavaliers teammates combined. Tomlin might not see much more action during Cleveland's remaining time in Las Vegas, especially since he is likely already locked into a reserve role with the Cavaliers ahead of the 2026-27 campaign.

Lanier finished Sunday's 103-94 Summer League win over the Cavaliers with 25 points (9-17 FG, 7-12 3Pt), three assists, three rebounds and one steal over 30 minutes.

Lanier set the tone early for the Pistons, scoring 17 of his team-high 25 points in the first quarter, 15 of which came on five three-pointers. The 2025 second-rounder saw limited action in his rookie year with the Pistons and will likely spend most of the 2026-27 campaign in the G League.

Thomas tallied 30 points (10-24 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven assists, four rebounds and four steals across 34 minutes in Sunday's 103-94 Summer League loss to the Pistons.

After dropping 20 points in Friday's loss to the Pacers, Thomas erupted for a game-high 30 points Sunday. The rookie guard also dished out a game-high seven assists while leading the Cavaliers in steals. Through two Summer League outings, he's averaging 25.0 points, 5.0 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 2.5 steals in 30.5 minutes per showing.

Pierre finished with 16 points (5-17 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and three rebounds across 29 minutes in Sunday's 81-75 Summer League win over Phoenix.

Pierre appeared in his third Summer League contest. Although he shot an inefficient 3-for-10 from deep, he still led the starters in scoring. The 24-year-old spent his final collegiate season at SMU in 2025-26, averaging 17.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.4 blocks and 1.0 steals over 33.2 minutes. Pierre is looking to carve out a meaningful role for himself throughout the 2026-27 campaign, but that doesn't appear imminently likely barring injuries to players on the Pelicans' roster.

Peat posted 12 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT), four rebounds, two steals and one assist across 28 minutes in Sunday's 81-75 Summer League loss to the Pelicans.

Peat turned in a relatively efficient performance and finished as the Suns' third-leading scorer, albeit in a losing effort. He also tied for the team lead in steals. The rookie forward has scored at least 12 points in both of his Summer League appearances thus far, totaling 29 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block in those outings.

Maluach recorded 15 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 28 minutes during the Suns' 81-75 Summer League loss to the Pelicans on Sunday.

It was the second double-double in as many Summer League games for Maluach, who hauled in 15 of the Suns' 41 rebounds while finishing as the team's second-leading scorer behind Darius Brown (18 points). Maluach was a first-round pick of the Suns in the 2025 NBA Draft but averaged just 8.9 minutes per game in his rookie season. He figures to enter training camp competing with Oso Ighodaro for backup minutes at center behind Mark Williams (foot).

Raynaud (rest) is available for Sunday's Summer League game against the Wizards, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Raynaud is set to make his 2026 Summer League debut after sitting out Thursday's win over the Clippers. The 2025 second-rounder is coming off an impressive rookie campaign with Sacramento, averaging 12.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 26.5 minutes per game over 74 regular-season appearances (56 starts) in 2025-26.

Peavy (not injury related) won't play in Sunday's Summer League game versus Phoenix, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Peavy isn't injured. Instead, other players on the Pelicans' Summer League roster will get a chance to showcase their talent. The 24-year-old appeared in 61 regular-season games during his rookie campaign in 2025-26, averaging 4.3 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.7 steals across 15.0 minutes per tilt.
