Lakers' Arthur Kaluma: Erupts for 34 points in SL win
Rotowire
Kaluma produced 34 points (11-16 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and five rebounds across 30 minutes in Saturday's 91-70 Summer League win over the Mavericks.
Kaluma couldn't be stopped with the ball in his hands, erupting for a game-high 34 points in the blowout win. The 24-year-old has been a steady scoring presence to start the summer, reaching double figures in all four of his appearances between the California Classic and the Las Vegas Summer League. Kaluma has yet to secure a deal for the 2026-27 season, though that could change if he continues to stack stellar performances in Las Vegas.

Rotowire
Kaluma recorded 16 points (5-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one block in 28 minutes during Monday's 88-84 California Classic Summer League win over the Spurs.
Kaluma did not play in Sunday's Summer League game for undisclosed reasons, but he returned to the lineup in a big way Monday, leading the second unit in scoring. Kaluma has scored in double figures in each of his two appearances at Summer League. Kaluma has yet to secure a deal for the 2026 season, so he will look to continue his strong play in hopes of earning a contract.
Kaluma was waived by the Lakers on Thursday, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
Kaluma was brought in on an Exhibit 10 deal in June. This transaction puts him on track to begin the 2025-26 season with the G League's South Bay Lakers.
