Brandon Boston Jr. Scores 18 Points in Bucks Summer League Loss
Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Brandon Boston Jr. led the team in scoring for the second straight game Sunday, finishing with 18 points, three rebounds, one assist, and one steal across 28 minutes in an 89-69 California Classic loss to Brooklyn. Boston also paced Milwaukee with 17 points in Saturday's win over Warriors Blue, so he is making the most of an early audition. The fantasy angle is still thin until he earns a regular-season roster spot, but his shot creation and minutes load are worth tracking in Las Vegas.

Cameron Carr Impresses with 26-Point Outing
Los Angeles Lakers guard Cameron Carr came ready to play during Sunday's Summer League matchup against the Miami Heat. Carr was all over the place as he finished with 26 points, eight rebounds, and connected on four three-pointers during the overtime victory. The Lakers selected Carr in the first-round out of Baylor this year. The 21-year-old has looked impressive early in camp, but there's still a lot of time between now and the beginning of the regular season. Clearly, the Lakers believe in Carr, which is why they selected him in the first round. He might struggle to get consistent minutes right away, but he could force his way into the conversation if he keeps playing like this.

Ryan Conwell Notches 16 Points in Loss
Miami Heat guard Ryan Conwell is getting a fair shot to prove himself during the Summer League. During his Summer League debut, Conwell knocked down only 4-of-12 shots from the floor. He was hopeful for better results on Sunday, but he didn't have much more success. He finished with 16 points (6-of-18 FGs), seven rebounds, and three assists in the double-overtime loss. The 16-point outing is nice, but his overall effectiveness has not been great. The Heat selected Conwell with a second-round pick during this year's draft. This team is in a win-now mode after trading for Giannis Antetokounmpo. Conwell will need to clean it up if he wants to crack this rotation.

Lakers Could Target Jonas Valanciunas
The Los Angeles Lakers are in the market for a backup center after trading Deandre Ayton to the Washington Wizards. The Lakers are reportedly interested Kevon Looney or Jonas Valanciunas. They've secured their starting center spot after making a trade for center Walker Kessler. Between the two, Valanciunas is the better option because he's a viable option on both sides of the ball. Valanciunas is still under contract with the Denver Nuggets, but they've reportedly made him available in trade talks. During his first year in Denver, Valanciunas averaged 8.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 0.6 blocks in 13.4 minutes per game in 65 contests. His value would likely increase elsewhere where he's not stuck behind Nikola Jokic. It remains to be seen if the Nuggets are truly interested in moving the big man, but the Lakers will need to make a move for another center at some point.

Ace Bailey Dealing with Back Spasms
Utah Jazz forward Ace Bailey (back) was forced to make an early exit from Saturday's Summer League contest against the Atlanta Hawks. Bailey exited the contest after 20 minutes due to back spasms. It was an exhibition contest, so the Jazz elected to hold out Bailey for the rest of the game. He finished with 10 points, six rebounds, and a steal during his 20 minutes of action. The young forward is considered day-to-day, but he should be fine going forward. He's expected to remain a significant part of the rotation after averaging 13.8 points across 27.6 minutes per game in 72 contests with the Jazz last season.

Nuggets Plan to Match Offer Sheet on Peyton Watson
The Denver Nuggets are reportedly committed to matching any offer sheets that forward Peyton Watson receives in free agency. Watson is currently a restricted free agent who is rumored to be looking for a deal that is over $20 million per season. The Nuggets will match any offer that Watson gets, but they are also open to sign-and-trade scenarios. Watson is coming off a career-year with the Nuggets and is hopeful to cash in during free agency. This past season, Watson averaged a career-high 14.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.1 assists across 29.6 minutes per game in 54 contests. The 23-year-old should be able to lock up a long-term deal after his performance this past season.

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.
