Zuby Ejiofor Posts Five Stocks in Summer League Win
Atlanta Hawks forward Zuby Ejiofor registered 13 points, six rebounds, three blocks, two assists, and two steals in 27 minutes during Saturday's 83-76 Summer League win over Brooklyn. The No. 23 overall pick has already stacked up useful defensive production, following a 12-point, four-rebound, three-assist outing Thursday and a 19-point, 15-rebound effort Monday. Ejiofor averaged 16.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 2.1 blocks at St. John's last season, so the blocks, boards, and passing are not coming out of nowhere. His defensive activity is doing most of the fantasy heavy lifting, which could matter if Atlanta trusts him in a reserve role.

Kingston Flemings Flashes All-Around Game in Summer League Win
Atlanta Hawks guard Kingston Flemings posted nine points, seven rebounds, five assists, and one block in 25 minutes during Saturday's 83-76 Summer League win over the Nets. The No. 8 overall pick struggled with his shot at 4-for-11, but the passing and rebounding are the better takeaways for fantasy managers looking beyond the scoring total. Flemings averaged 16.1 points, 5.2 assists, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.5 steals at Houston, so the multi-category profile is real. The playmaking flashes help his case, but his clearest fantasy path still runs through earning steady ball-handling chances.

Gary Trent Jr. Re-Signs With Milwaukee on Four-Year Deal
Milwaukee Bucks guard Gary Trent Jr. has agreed to a four-year, $64 million contract to stay with the Bucks, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. Trent declined his $3.9 million player option to lock in the long-term deal. The veteran sharpshooter posted a quiet 2025-26, averaging 8.1 points, 1.2 assists, 1.0 rebounds, and 1.9 threes in 21.2 minutes across 65 games. His return deepens an already-jammed backcourt that includes Ryan Rollins, Kevin Porter Jr., Tyler Herro, and AJ Green, so Trent's path to steady minutes looks narrow. He remains a career 38.7 percent shooter from deep, but the logjam caps his fantasy ceiling and could push Milwaukee to move another guard to clear the room.

Tyler Nickel Hits Six Threes in Knicks Summer League Loss
New York Knicks forward Tyler Nickel scored 18 points and grabbed four rebounds in Friday's 91-65 Summer League loss to the Brooklyn Nets. The No. 47 pick shot 6-for-11 from the field and 6-for-10 from three-point range, giving New York one of its few bright spots in a one-sided defeat. Nickel's shooting is the clear fantasy hook after he arrived from Vanderbilt with a movement-shooter profile. He will need to show more than spot-up value to push for regular-season minutes, but the three-point volume gives him a skill worth tracking.

Nae'Qwan Tomlin Scores 20 Points in Cavaliers Loss
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Nae'Qwan Tomlin finished with 20 points, six rebounds, four assists, three steals, and one block across 29 minutes in Friday's 99-93 Summer League loss to the Indiana Pacers. Tomlin tied Meleek Thomas for the team lead in scoring and gave Cleveland one of its best two-way lines despite the loss. The 25-year-old already flashed late-season upside with a 26-point regular-season game in April, and this outing showed the same activity-based appeal. Tomlin is still working toward a consistent offensive role, but his ability to rebound, defend, and hit enough jumpers could help him earn a longer look in Cleveland's rotation.

Bruce Thornton Scores 27 Points in Rockets Summer League Win
Houston Rockets guard Bruce Thornton tallied 27 points, three rebounds, three assists, and three steals across 35 minutes in Friday's 97-86 Summer League win over the Denver Nuggets. The No. 31 pick led Houston in scoring and helped the Rockets pull away with a 29-19 fourth quarter. Thornton's shot volume was high, but he went 7-for-7 at the free-throw line and added defensive production, which matters for his fantasy profile. The rookie still faces a tough climb to regular-season value, though his scoring polish and on-ball reps make him worth tracking this summer.

Bennett Stirtz Leads Thunder With 18 Points
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Bennett Stirtz supplied 18 points, two assists, one steal, and one block across 28 minutes in Friday's 96-84 Summer League loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. The No. 16 pick shot 7-for-14 from the field and 3-for-8 from three-point range, leading five Thunder players in double figures. Stirtz averaged 19.8 points, 4.4 assists, and 1.4 steals at Iowa last season, so the scoring and on-ball reps fit his profile. He still needs to prove he can handle NBA size, but his shooting and feel give him a path to bench-guard minutes.

Adou Thiero Leads Lakers With 20 Points Against Thunder
Los Angeles Lakers forward Adou Thiero finished with 20 points, four rebounds, four assists, three steals, and two blocks across 30 minutes in Friday's 96-84 Summer League win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. The second-year wing returned to the lineup after missing Monday's California Classic finale and gave Los Angeles a strong two-way performance. Thiero shot 8-for-14 from the field but missed all five three-point attempts and went 2-for-5 at the line. Thiero's steals, blocks, and rim pressure give him a strong Summer League foundation, but his jumper still needs to catch up before his role can grow.

Allen Graves Posts Double-Double in Raptors Loss
Toronto Raptors forward Allen Graves logged 22 points, 13 rebounds, three steals, and two blocks across 29 minutes in Friday's 83-80 overtime Summer League loss to the Boston Celtics. The No. 19 pick shot 9-for-16 from the field and 3-for-8 from three-point range in his first professional game. Graves also grabbed five offensive rebounds, giving Toronto a strong activity-based line despite the loss. The rebounds and defensive stats are the main draw, while the three-point shooting gives Graves another way to push for a role.

Caleb Wilson Scores 35 Points in Bulls Debut
Chicago Bulls forward Caleb Wilson finished with 35 points, five rebounds, three blocks, and two steals across 33 minutes in Friday's 97-96 Summer League loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. The No. 4 pick hit seven threes in his first Summer League game, including back-to-back triples in the final seconds to keep Chicago alive. That shooting stands out after he hit just 25.9 percent from deep at North Carolina. Wilson still had some loose possessions, but the scoring burst and defensive stats point to a fantasy-friendly profile if the jumper keeps coming around.

Meleek Thomas Looks Sharp in Summer League Debut
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Meleek Thomas made his Summer League debut against the Indiana Pacers on Friday. He put together a solid outing, showing off his scoring ability. Thomas finished with 20 points (7-of-15 FGs), five rebounds, and three assists in the loss to the Pacers. The Cavs selected Thomas in the second round of this year's draft out of Arkansas. He recently signed a four-year deal worth nearly $10 million. This team has lost a few key bench contributors to free agency, so Thomas might have a chance to help this team right away.

Mikel Brown Jr. Registers 20 Points on Friday
Brooklyn Nets guard Mikel Brown Jr. made the most of his chances during Friday's Summer League contest against the New York Knicks. This was only his second game with the team, but he is already looking comfortable with his new team. Brown finished with 20 points (6-of-12 FGs), three assists, and two steals in the win over the Knicks. Brown also knocked down three shots from beyond the arc during Friday's blowout victory. Both Brown and Egor Demin dropped 20-point games, which is an encouraging sight for the future of the Nets roster. The rookie guard should immediately be an impact player in Brooklyn this season.

Egor Demin Drops 20 Points in Win
Brooklyn Nets guard Egor Demin was putting on a show during Friday's Summer League contest against the New York Knicks. He finished with 20 points (7-of-15 FGs), three rebounds, and two assists during Friday's victory. Demin struggled as a rookie, but is showing solid progression during the Summer League. This past season, Demin averaged 10.3 points, 3.3 assists, and 3.2 rebounds in 25.2 minutes per game across 52 contests with the Nets. He held a field goal percentage of 39.9% and 38.5% from beyond the arc. The Nets are hopeful that the 6-foot-9 guard can find more consistency in 2026. He has the potential to be a legitimate threat in the NBA, but he needs to be more efficient, or he'll quickly get passed up in this league.

Trail Blazers Claim Micah Potter Off Waivers
The Portland Trail Blazers have claimed forward/center Micah Potter off waivers from the Indiana Pacers on Friday. The Pacers recently cut Potter to make room for the newly signed Larry Nance Jr. on the roster. Potter has moved around in the league since joining the Detroit Pistons in 2021. He averaged 9.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.5 assists across 19.3 minutes per game in 47 contests with the Pacers this past season. He figures to mix in somewhere on the bench in Portland, but is unlikely to see consistent enough playing time to warrant adding in fantasy basketball.

Victor Wembanyama Signs Mega Extension with Spurs
San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama has signed a massive extension with the organization on Friday. According to Shams Charania, Wembanyama has agreed to a five-year, $252 million contract with the Spurs. Wembanyama could've received an extension worth 30 percent of the Spurs' salary cap. Instead, he takes a deal that saves the Spurs $50 million over the next five years. Wembanyama wanted to make sure the Spurs still have the cap space available to build a team for the future. The 7-foot-4 superstar helped lead the Spurs to the NBA Finals this past season. He's going to be in the MVP conversation for many years to come.
