Hansen finished with 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists, one steal and four blocks across 26 minutes in Thursday's 108-101 Summer League victory over the Nuggets.

Hansen didn't have his most productive offensive showing Thursday, but he certainly got after it on the defensive end by finishing the evening with four blocks. The 21-year-old appeared in 43 regular-season games for the Trail Blazers in 2025-26, averaging 2.2 points and 1.5 rebounds over 7.0 minutes. Although Hansen's development is still a work in progress, it's reasonable to assume he will continue to improve throughout the 2026-27 campaign, especially if he gets more playing time.

Ike logged 15 points (4-10 FG, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, one steal and three blocks in 26 minutes during Thursday's 87-77 Summer League win over the Knicks.

Ike looked much more polished on the offensive end after finishing with six points in his previous showing Tuesday against Memphis. He also had his way at the rim, falling one rebound shy of a double-double while leading Golden State in swats. Ike is on an Exhibit 10 deal with the Warriors and will enter training camp looking to prove he's deserving of a roster spot.

Ejiofor (rest) won't play in Thursday's Summer League game against Memphis, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

This looks to be a scheduled maintenance day for Ejiofor, who also took a seat for Monday's game against Boston. He'll have another chance to play over the weekend as Summer League draws to a close.

The Heat and Goldin agreed to a two-way deal Thursday, per Michael Scotto of USA Today.

Goldin appeared in nine games for the Heat last season, but he figures to spend most of his time in the G League in 2026-27. He averaged 11.3 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game during the G League regular season for the Sioux Falls Skyforce in 2025-26.

The Thunder are shutting down Mara (rest) for the remainder of the Las Vegas Summer League, per Rylan Stiles of SI.com.

Oklahoma City got a good look at Mara during exhibition play, as the rookie big man averaged 9.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.8 blocks in 23.9 minutes per game over five Summer League appearances. Mara, a 2026 first-rounder, will be competing with Jaylin Williams for the backup center gig behind Isaiah Hartenstein during training camp.

The Suns are shutting down Maluach (rest) for the rest of the Las Vegas Summer League, per John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM.

Maluach put together an encouraging Las Vegas Summer League run, scoring at least 15 points in four appearances while registering three double-doubles as well. The 2025 first-rounder is next set to battle with Oso Ighodaro for the top backup role at center behind Mark Williams during training camp.

Okpara (not injury related) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Summer League game against the Clippers, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Okpara is healthy, though he'll be held out Wednesday as the Wizards provide other players on the roster with opportunities. The remainder of Washington's Summer League schedule has yet to be finalized, though the club is expected to play its next game Saturday against an opponent yet to be announced.

Maluach tallied 23 points (8-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-9 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 28 minutes in Wednesday's 100-88 Summer League win over the Pistons.

Maluach led his team with 23 points and pulled down a game-high 15 rebounds as part of a winning effort. The second-year center has impressed throughout the Las Vegas Summer League, scoring at least 15 points in all four appearances while recording a double-double in three straight contests. The Duke product played sparingly at the NBA level during the 2025-26 campaign, averaging 3.0 points and 2.9 rebounds in 8.9 minutes across 46 regular-season appearances (one start).

Williams (undisclosed) is in the Celtics' starting lineup in Wednesday's Summer League game against the Kings.

Williams was held out for rest purposes Monday against the Hawks, but he's back in action for Wednesday's clash against Sacramento. He played 29 minutes against the Raptors on Friday, finishing with 23 points, 13 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in an 83-80 win for the Celtics.

Quaintance underwent right knee surgery Wednesday and has no timetable for a return, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.

The rookie center faced severe complications and persistent knee swelling last season following February 2025 ACL surgery, and a follow-up procedure was required. It remains to be seen how long he will be sidelined, but this certainly puts his status for training camp in doubt.
