  • Moe Wagner C | ORL

    Magic's Moritz Wagner: Suiting up for Germany

    Wagner is on the German national team's roster for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

    Wagner is coming off a strong 2023-24 campaign for the Magic in which he averaged 10.9 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 17.7 minutes across 80 regular-season appearances. For Germany, Wagner should be one of the team's primary options in the frontcourt alongside Daniel Theis.

  • Rudy Gobert C | MIN

    Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Defensive stalwart for France

    Gobert is on the French national team's roster for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

    After tying an NBA record for the most career Defensive Player of the Year awards by achieving his fourth in 2023-24, Gobert is now set to play for France in the Olympics. Alongside Victor Wembanyama, Gobert's elite rim protection should make it a nightmare for any opposing team looking to score inside.

    Huff and the Grizzlies agreed to a two-way contract Wednesday.

  • Joel Embiid C | PHI

    76ers' Joel Embiid: Efficient from field in win Monday

    Embiid posted 15 points (5-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block across 22 minutes in Team USA's 92-88 exhibition game win over Germany on Monday.

    Embiid followed up a 2-for-8 performance from the field Wednesday against Serbia with two extremely efficient outings, shooting a combined 10-for-14 across the USA's last two exhibition games. Embiid's ability to move the ball Monday was also impressive as he led the squad in assists. The All-Star has been elite on the boards through five exhibition matchups thus far, averaging 6.8 rebounds per game.

  • Kel'el Ware C | MIA

    Heat's Kel'el Ware: Cruises to double-double

    Ware tallied 21 points (8-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds and one block over 32 minutes during Monday's Summer League Championship Game against the Grizzlies.

    Ware, who was named to the NBA 2K25 All-Summer League First Team earlier in the day, put together yet another strong performance to finish out Summer League play. He secured a double-double with his strong rebounding effort and scored efficiently, knocking down 80.0 percent of his tries from the field in an overtime thriller.

  • Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Won't play Sunday

    Clingan will not play in Sunday's Summer League finale against the Rockets, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Clingan will be shut down for the final game of Summer League and shift his focus to the regular season. The UConn product slightly underwhelmed offensively during Summer League but shined on the defensive end. His presence defensively could be enough to garner him playing time once the regular season begins.

  • Zach Edey C | MEM

    Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Out for rest of Summer League

    Edey (ankle) has been shut down for the remainder of Summer League, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.

    Edey tweaked his right ankle during Thursday's win over the Pelicans. While the issue is expected to be minor, it's unsurprising to see Memphis proceed with caution. Edey, the No. 9 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, is expected to compete for a rotational role in Memphis' frontcourt as a rookie.

  • Yves Missi C | NO

    Pelicans' Yves Missi: Battling back soreness

    Missi won't play in Saturday's Summer League game against the Nuggets due to lower back soreness, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

    Missi won't suit up for the Pelicans' final Summer League contest as he tends to pain in his lower back. The 20-year-old flashed some of the rim protection and athleticism in Las Vegas that coaxed the Pelicans into selecting him with the 21st overall pick in this year's draft. He should be ready to go for training camp.
