Jay Huff Blocks Four Shots in USA's Qualifier Win
Indiana Pacers center Jay Huff finished with 12 points, four rebounds, and four blocks as USA Basketball edged the Dominican Republic 82-81 in FIBA World Cup Qualifiers. The 7-foot-1 big man is coming off a useful season in Indiana, where he averaged 9.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.5 assists while giving the Pacers a stretch-center element. The blocks are still the fantasy hook, but his regular-season value depends on minutes. With Ivica Zubac ahead of him and Micah Potter also in the frontcourt mix, Huff profiles more as a specialist than a locked-in fantasy option.

Jonathan Mogbo Blocks Five Shots in Kings Summer League Win
Sacramento Kings forward Jonathan Mogbo finished with six points, seven rebounds, two steals, and five blocks across 32 minutes in Saturday's 79-76 California Classic Summer League win over the Brooklyn Nets. Mogbo shot 3-for-5 from the field and made his biggest impact defensively, giving Sacramento a strong first look after he joined the team on a two-way deal. The 24-year-old averaged just 1.5 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 0.6 assists with Toronto last season, so this does not create redraft buzz yet. Still, the blocks and steals are the fantasy hook if he can earn real NBA minutes.

Cody Williams Posts 17 Points in Jazz Summer League Victory
Utah Jazz forward Cody Williams recorded 17 points, five rebounds, one assist, one steal, and two blocks across 34 minutes in Saturday's 103-102 Salt Lake City Summer League overtime win over the Atlanta Hawks. Williams shot 8-for-13 from the field and hit his only three-point attempt, giving Utah a strong two-way line next to Darryn Peterson's scoring outburst. The 21-year-old averaged 8.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists last season, so the defensive stats and efficiency stand out most. His fantasy value still depends on earning a steadier regular-season role.

Egor Demin Scores 23 Points in California Classic Loss
Brooklyn Nets guard Egor Demin finished with 23 points, seven rebounds, and one assist in Saturday's 79-76 California Classic Summer League loss to the Sacramento Kings. Demin shot 8-for-15 from the field, though the 2-for-8 mark from three kept the line from being cleaner. The 20-year-old averaged 10.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 3.3 assists as a rookie while shooting 38.5 percent from deep, so this was a strong restart after his season ended early. His fantasy value still hinges on usage, efficiency, and how much on-ball work Brooklyn gives him.

Jaden Bradley Lands Two-Way Deal With Raptors
Toronto Raptors guard Jaden Bradley agreed to a two-way deal, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. Bradley was the No. 50 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft after winning Big 12 Player of the Year at Arizona, where he averaged 13.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 1.4 steals while shooting 39.4 percent from three. The 22-year-old has a useful guard profile built on decision-making, defense, and spot-up shooting, but the two-way structure points to a developmental role. With Immanuel Quickley ahead of him, Bradley needs injuries or a roster opening to gain fantasy traction.

Bennett Stirtz Posts Balanced Line in First Thunder Summer League Game
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Bennett Stirtz finished with 10 points, three rebounds, four assists, and two threes in his Salt Lake City Summer League debut, a 111-74 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. The No. 16 pick did not have a flashy scoring night, but the mix of shooting and playmaking fits his Iowa profile after he averaged 19.8 points, 4.4 assists, and 1.4 steals as a senior. Stirtz's fantasy value is more developmental than immediate, with Oklahoma City's guard rotation leaving him a narrow path to regular-season minutes.

Aday Mara Fills Box Score in Thunder Summer-League Debut
Oklahoma City Thunder center Aday Mara finished with 10 points, three rebounds, four assists, and two blocks in a 111-74 Salt Lake City Summer League loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. The No. 12 pick did not have a huge scoring night, but the passing and rim protection were encouraging signs from the 7-foot-3 rookie. Mara averaged 12.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks at Michigan, so the defensive stats fit the profile. His fantasy value is more long-term than immediate, with Chet Holmgren, Isaiah Hartenstein, Jaylin Williams, and Thomas Sorber crowding Oklahoma City's frontcourt.

Kingston Flemings Nearly has Double-Double in Hawks Summer-League Debut
Atlanta Hawks guard Kingston Flemings finished with 14 points, nine assists, four steals, and one turnover in a 103-102 overtime loss to the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City Summer League action. The No. 8 pick struggled early as a scorer, but he settled in as a passer and defender, giving Atlanta a useful first look at his lead-guard tools. Flemings averaged 16.1 points, 5.2 assists, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.5 steals at Houston, so the playmaking and defensive activity track. His fantasy value will depend on how quickly he earns real on-ball minutes.

Darius Acuff Jr. Leads Kings With 25 Points in California Classic Win
Sacramento Kings guard Darius Acuff Jr. scored a game-high 25 points in a 79-76 California Classic win over the Brooklyn Nets. The No. 7 pick added two rebounds and four assists, helping Sacramento rally after trailing by 18 in the first half and by 10 late in the fourth quarter. Acuff averaged 23.5 points and 6.4 assists at Arkansas, so the scoring burst fits the profile. The fantasy appeal is obvious if he earns on-ball work, but his shot selection and efficiency will matter in a Kings backcourt that still has veteran options ahead of him.

Cameron Boozer Scores 15 Points in Grizzlies Summer League Debut
Memphis Grizzlies forward Cameron Boozer finished with 15 points, four rebounds, and four assists in a 111-74 Salt Lake City Summer League win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. The No. 3 pick shot 7-for-11 from the field, giving Memphis an efficient first look at his polished scoring and passing package. Boozer averaged 22.5 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 4.1 assists at Duke, so the all-around line fits his profile. His fantasy appeal is real because of the points, boards, and assists blend, but the next question is how quickly Memphis lets him handle regular-season usage.

Darryn Peterson Drops 28 Points in Summer League Debut
Utah Jazz guard Darryn Peterson announced himself in his Salt Lake City Summer League debut, dropping a game-high 28 points on 11-of-21 shooting with four threes, five rebounds, and two blocks to lead the Jazz past the Hawks 103-102 in overtime, capped by his go-ahead triple in the extra frame. The No. 2 overall pick, taken one spot after AJ Dybantsa, is exactly the kind of debut fantasy managers hoped to see. Peterson quieted the availability concerns that dogged his lone Kansas season, where cramping issues (later tied to creatine) limited him to 24 games. This one matters more than most summer flashes. As a top-two pick on a rebuilding Jazz team with an open backcourt, Peterson has a clear runway to real rookie minutes and usage, giving him legitimate redraft value on top of elite dynasty upside. The one blemish, eight turnovers, is worth monitoring, but target him as a priority rookie.

Patrick Ewing Joins the Wizards as an Assistant Coach
Hall of Fame center Patrick Ewing is returning to an NBA bench, agreeing to join the Washington Wizards as an assistant coach under head coach Brian Keefe, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. It's a homecoming of sorts for the Georgetown legend, who launched his NBA coaching career as a Wizards assistant back in 2002 after an 11-time All-Star playing career. For fantasy, an assistant hire carries no redraft weight, but there's a genuine dynasty angle here. As one of the greatest centers ever, Ewing figures to work directly with Washington's bigs, and the name that matters is Alexandre Sarr. A Hall of Fame tutor for the young center is exactly the kind of development boost dynasty managers want to see, especially with veterans Anthony Davis and the incoming Deandre Ayton around only as short-term pieces.

Garrett Temple Retires to Join Dusty May's Mavericks Staff
Garrett Temple is joining Dusty May's coaching staff with the Dallas Mavericks, Marc Stein of The Stein Line reports. Temple is moving into coaching after a 16-year playing career and will be part of a staff also expected to feature former Pelicans head coach Willie Green. This does not create a direct fantasy swing, but Dallas clearly wanted more NBA experience around May after a 26-56 season. Temple's value should come in player development, locker-room credibility, and defensive habits. That matters most for the team's young core, though fantasy managers should wait for actual rotation and pace changes before adjusting values.

Kam Jones Lands Two-Way Deal With Bucks
The Milwaukee Bucks and guard Kam Jones agreed to a two-way deal, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. Jones was the No. 38 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft and now returns to Wisconsin after starring at Marquette, where he averaged 19.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 5.9 assists as a senior. He had a limited NBA role last season, averaging 4.4 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 3.2 assists in 16.6 minutes across 37 games. Jones has some secondary playmaking appeal, but Milwaukee's guard mix leaves him more likely to spend time with the Wisconsin Herd than carry steady fantasy value.

Yaxel Lendeborg Dazzles as Warriors Rout Lakers in California Classic
Golden State Warriors forward Yaxel Lendeborg was flawless in his summer-league debut, pouring in 19 points on a perfect 6-of-6 from the field and 4-of-4 from three. He added five rebounds and six assists as Golden State routed the Lakers 104-72 in the California Classic. The No. 11 pick in June's draft, Lendeborg is an older, NBA-ready rookie at 23, a two-way forward who won a national title at Michigan while averaging 15.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 3.2 assists. For fantasy, keep the excitement measured. Summer league is a tiny sample against thin competition, and Lendeborg lands on a veteran, win-now roster built around Stephen Curry, one chasing even more star power this summer, so rookie minutes come at a premium. The takeaway is a dynasty one: he's a versatile, high-floor stash to monitor. In redraft, be patient until the role is real.
