Javon Small (26 pts, 7 ast, 5 3PM) led Memphis to a win over Golden State, as the Grizzlies shot 17-for-32 (53.1%) from 3-point range. Jeremy Lin was HYPED watching Javon Small take flight on this dunk ✈️

Brendan Hausen (20 pts, 6 3PM in 19:12) also went off, while Cameron Boozer (12 pts, 7 reb, 3 ast, 3 stl) helped out around the edges. Yaxel Lendeborg (15 pts, 9 reb, 3 ast, 3 stl) was the top scorer for the Warriors. Watch highlights from the game.
JULY 14 / 8:19 p.m. ET
Some vintage Cam Boozer
Boozer’s been relatively limited (8 pts, 6 reb, 3 ast, 3 stl), but that still means he’s stuffing the stat sheet for the Grizzlies, as they open a 73-55 lead over the Warriors late in the third quarter. He’s been very comfortable with the NBA 3-pointer so far this summer, and effort around the rim will always play.

“Anybody coming from the Boozer family, I’m a big fan. His father — one of the nicest people, the nicest teammates I’ve ever had,” said Jeremy Lin.

Wizards–Bulls about to tip off on Prime
No. 4 pick Caleb Wilson is back in action, leading the Bulls against the Wizards in our fourth game of the day. With No. 1 pick AJ Dybantsa shut down, watch guard Seth Trimble for Washington. The former North Carolina Tar Heel and 2022 Mr. Basketball in Wisconsin has flashed intriguing athleticism this summer.
JULY 14 / 8:01 p.m. ET
Nets win 115-83
The Nets forced 28 Kings turnovers and scored 41 points off them, avenging their loss in the 2026 California Classic in a runaway victory. “They got us in Sacramento, so we had a little bit of fuel and a little bit of energy for this game,” said Mikel Brown Jr. (16 pts, 5 ast). Asked whether he thinks the summer Nets can be stopped, Brown Jr. replied simply “no.”
Egor Dёmin (22 pts, 8 ast, 4 stl) led six Brooklyn players in double figures, including Chaney Johnson (13 pts, 9 reb, team-high +31). Darius Acuff Jr. (26 pts, 5 ast) and Emanuel Sharp (23 pts, 6 3PM) were the only Kings to crack 10 points. “Just great high hands and pressure basketball from (the Nets),” said Prime’s Brett Barry. “They caused the Kings to become a little bit dismantled.” Watch highlights from the game.

JULY 14 / 7:49 p.m. ET
Acuff Jr. keeps going off
110-75 Brooklyn in the fourth, but Darius Acuff Jr. (26 pts, 5 ast) has shone regardless in this one, grinding to a solid day on 9-for-18 shooting. His intensity is meaningful — a little Jalen Brunson to it.

Grizzlies–Warriors about to tip off on ESPN
We’ve got No. 3 pick Cameron Boozer and the Grizzlies taking on No. 11 pick Yaxel Lendeborg and the Grizzlies in the Pavilion.
JULY 14 / 6:31 p.m. ET
Nets romping, but Kings show steel
38-18 Brooklyn after one, as the Nets shot 10-for-14 (71.1%) in the first quarter to open up a big lead. Egor Dёmin (16 pts, 3 ast, 2 stl, +20) has had his best stretch of the summer so far, comfortably attacking the Kings’ young guards, while Danny Wolf (8 pts) had some graceful, lilting drives to the rim. Darius Acuff Jr., Dylan Cardwell and Emanuel Sharp all had six points to power the scoring for the Kings. They’re all tough — the Kings’ culture is evident in their play.

Kings–Nets about to get going on Prime
We’ve got a marquee matchup here, as No. 7 pick Darius Acuff Jr. and the Kings face No. 6 pick Mikel Brown Jr. and the Nets. Acuff Jr.’s shooting has been erratic, but he’s been hard-nosed and effective in keying the Kings’ attack so far this summer. Brown Jr.’s gone on two heaters in early action — a trademark trait of the guard out of Louisville.
JULY 14 / 5:55 p.m. ET
Rockets win 90-64
The Rockets held the 76ers to 31.1% shooting, including 5-for-30 (16.7%) from 3-point range, in moving to 2-1 on the summer. “We brought it today — making sure we brought energy,” said Bruce Thornton (18 pts, 4 ast, 2 stl). “When you can hold a team under that percentage, you have a good chance of winning… We executed at a high level.”
Isaiah Crawford (19 pts) and Tristen Newton (17 pts) also scored in double figures for the Rockets, while Labaron Philon (17 pts) was the only player to score more than 10 points for Philly. Johni Broome (2 pts on 1-for-5 shooting) was kept in check for the first time in Vegas, stifling the 76ers’ offense. “The pressure that Houston came out with really set the tempo for them,” said Prime’s Brent Barry. “Going at Johni Broome — doubling players in the Summer League doesn’t happen very often, but it helped the Rockets stay stable.” Watch highlights from the game.

JULY 14 / 5:37 p.m. ET
Rockets blasting off
Houston’s earned a 15-3 advantage in fast break points midway through the fourth quarter, as Isaiah Crawford (19 pts, 6 reb, 3 ast) and Bruce Thornton (18 pts, 4 ast) lead the Rockets past the scoring of Labaron Philon (17 pts, 3 ast, 2 stl). The Rockets have led wire-to-wire, holding the Sixers to 30.8% shooting from the field.
Crawford, the former Conference USA Player of the Year, has handily outplayed Johni Broome (2 pts) at the power forward position — a change of pace for this 76ers squad, which has relied on him so far this summer. “Stifling Johni Broome (2 pts) has been the calling card for Houston in this game, and it’s served them well,” said Prime’s Brett Barry. Rockets 77-55 with 5:28 to go in the fourth quarter.
JULY 14 / 4:59 p.m. ET
Philon keeps attacking
Maybe some Monta Ellis on the finish? Nice finger roll. 41-25 Rockets at the half.

JULY 14 / 4:24 p.m. ET
Philon flying early
17-8 Rockets after the first quarter, but Labaron Philon (5 pts) provided most of the offense early. He has a tight, easy handle, putting the ball between his legs on the crossover with ease, and used it to get to a stepback 3-pointer to end the period. Streetball-era flashbacks. He also has some touch, as this floater shows.

The Knicks won their first game of the summer 86-75 to open Monday’s action, overcoming another hot shooting performance from the Pistons’ Chaz Lanier (24 pts on 8-for-12 3FG). Seth Lundy (22 pts) swatted Rienk Mast (23 pts, 10 reb) as time expired to preserve a 94-93 Raptors win over the Pacers.

Jonas Aidoo (15 pts, 11 reb) continued his strong play, leading the Jazz over the Bulls 80-63, despite Caleb Wilson’s absurd poster jam.
