Burton, who dug in to earn eight appearances with the G League Memphis Hustle after going undrafted in 2024, powered his way to 20 points (8-14 FGs), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals, exiting his 23 minutes with an astounding plus-41 on the board.

NBA's Las Vegas Summer League is almost in the books. The nearly two-week event has showcased some of the top rookies from the 2025 draft class, second-year players and NBA hopefu

The Warriors had, arguably, the least-heralded Summer League roster. Second-year center Quinten Post did not play, and there were no ballyhooed prospects on a roster populated by NBA hopefuls, benchwarmers and future all-stars in Puerto Rico’s Baloncesto Superior Nacional.

The Phoenix Suns concluded their fifth and final game in NBA Summer League play with a 111-87 victory on July 19 over the Portland Trail Blazers at Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas. The Suns (2-3) snapped a three-game skid in beating the Blazers (3-2). Khalif Battle scored a game-high 21 points and Boogie Ellis went for 19 to lead the Suns.

While the Draft's top three picks played in limited summer league action, they each displayed their tantalizing upside.

The Los Angeles Lakers can't get a first-round pick in trade talks for former Tennessee Volunteers basketball star Dalton Knecht after a disastrous Summer League showing.

Though the Lakers lost to the Clippers on July 14, James was one of the few bright spots as he logged a complete game: 17 points, five rebounds, five assists and three 3-pointers. Additionally, he notably averaged 16.3 ppg, 4.3 apg and 2.6 rpg over a three-game stretch, able to get teammates involved and spark runs throughout.

Dink Pate capped off a productive summer league stint with a double-double to help lead the Knicks in a loss to the Wizards.
