Utah Jazz forward/center
Kyle Filipowski logged 18 points (5-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 25 minutes on the floor during Tuesday's 86-82 Summer League victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Filipowski earned his second straight Summer League double-double. The 21-year-old is averaging 17.0 points and 11.3 rebounds in 26.6 minutes per contest across three Summer League outings. With a young Jazz roster, the former Duke standout will likely take on a larger role in 2025-26, posting averages of 9.6 points and 6.1 rebounds across 72 outings last season.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center
Chet Holmgren has agreed to a fully guaranteed five-year maximum rookie contract extension, according to Shams Charania of ESPN. The deal could be worth up to $250 million. Holmgren just finished his third NBA season, averaging 15.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks in 27.4 minutes. He was limited to 32 games due to a hip injury. The 23-year-old missed his entire rookie year with a foot problem. While Holmgren's health issues are something fantasy managers should keep in mind, he is a uniquely talented big man and is set to be part of the Thunder's core for the foreseeable future.

The San Antonio Spurs have traded guard
Malaki Branham to the Washington Wizards. Branham was shipped out along with fellow guard
Blake Wesley and a second-round draft pick in exchange for big man
Kelly Olynyk. He will leave Texas after averaging only 9.1 minutes per game in 2024-25. Overall, Branham posted 8.5 points and 2.0 rebounds in 19.0 minutes with the Spurs over three seasons. Although he has shown some potential at times, Branham's fantasy outlook seems bleak after leaving San Antonio, since the Wizards have several guards ahead of him on the depth chart, including established players like
CJ McCollum and
Marcus Smart.

The Washington Wizards have acquired guard
Blake Wesley in a trade with the San Antonio Spurs. Wesley was part of a deal that saw San Antonio land veteran big man
Kelly Olynyk. The 22-year-old moves to D.C. after spending three seasons with the Spurs. He averaged 3.7 points and 2.0 assists in 11.8 minutes per game. Wesley struggled to make an impact in Texas, and he also faces a tough battle for playing time in Washington, with veteran guards
CJ McCollum and
Marcus Smart ahead of him on the depth chart, along with young talents like
Bub Carrington and
Tre Johnson.

The San Antonio Spurs have acquired forward/center
Kelly Olynyk in a trade with the Washington Wizards. The Wizards only recently picked up Olynyk from the New Orleans Pelicans but are moving him on in exchange for guards
Malaki Branham,
Blake Wesley, and a 2026 second-round pick. Olynyk will add depth behind star big man
Victor Wembanyama in San Antonio, which will limit his fantasy value. Last season, Olynyk averaged 8.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 2.9 assists in 20.3 minutes across 44 games with the Pelicans and Toronto Raptors.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center
Anthony Davis has undergone a procedure to repair a detached retina that he suffered during the season, per ESPN's Shams Charania. The star big man is expected to be fully healthy for training camp. Davis is gearing up for his first full campaign in Dallas. Due to a groin injury, he was limited to only nine appearances with his new team in 2024-25, averaging 20.0 points, 10.1 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 2.2 blocks in 29.6 minutes per game. With
Kyrie Irving (knee) expected to be sidelined for most of next season, the stage is set for Davis to make a big impact.

Denver Nuggets center
Nikola Jokic has no interest in signing a contract extension this offseason. The three-time MVP is eligible to sign a three-year, $200 million extension until Oct. 20, but he reportedly plans to delay contract negotiations until next summer. In 12 months, Jokic could earn an extra $77 million on his contract. Currently, Jokic is two years into a five-year, $276 million deal. Since Jokic still has several seasons left on his current contract, he isn't leaving anytime soon, and the Nuggets have no reason to panic. It's simply a financial decision for Jokic to wait until next summer before starting extension talks.

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard
Ajay Mitchell finished with 16 points, five rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal in 25 minutes during Monday's 89-78 Summer League victory over the Philadelphia 76ers.

During his rookie campaign in 2024-25, the 21-year-old saw action in 36 regular-season contests, averaging 6.5 points on 49.5 percent shooting in 16.6 minutes per game. Despite seeing limited time on the floor in the playoffs, the Thunder obviously views Mitchell as a talented guard with a lot of potential, signing him to a three-year, $9 million contract this summer.

According to Eric Nehm of The Athletic, the Milwaukee Bucks waived guard
Vasilije Micic on Monday. Micic was recently traded to the Bucks from the Hornets for
Pat Connaughton and two second-round picks. Now, as a free agent, the 31-year-old will likely search for other opportunities in the NBA and Europe. During the 2024-25 campaign, Micic saw action in 41 regular-season contests with the Hornets and Suns, posting averages of 6.6 points, 3.1 assists, and 2.2 rebounds.

Memphis Grizzlies forward
GG Jackson II finished with 27 points (11-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, and two blocks in 30 minutes during a 112-111 Summer League loss to the Utah Jazz on Monday. The 20-year-old missed the first half of the 2024-25 campaign due to a broken fifth metatarsal in his right foot and was limited to just 29 regular-season appearances. He has since recovered and bounced back, posting 47 points in 58 minutes on the floor across two Summer League outings. After Summer League concludes, Jackson could see an uptick in minutes, providing the Grizzlies with an offensive threat off the bench during the upcoming 2025-26 season.
