Stars of the day
Jaylon Tyson, Cleveland Cavaliers
Tyson scored 10 of his team-high 21 points in the third quarter to help Cleveland defeat Miami 92-72. The Cavaliers outscored the Heat 30-13 in the third quarter. Tyson entered Sunday averaging 19 points, 7.5 assists and six rebounds in Cleveland’s first two Summer League games.
The 6-foot-6-inch forward added six rebounds, five assists and two steals. He shot 8-of-17 from the field and made both of his 3-pointers during the third quarter as Cleveland improved to 2-1 in Summer League play.
Cleveland selected Tyson in the first round, 20th overall, in the 2024 draft out of California. Tyson split time between the G-League and Cleveland last year. He appeared in 47 games for the Cavaliers.
Asa Newell, Atlanta Hawks
Atlanta’s 2025 first-round pick shined to lead the Hawks as they improved to 3-0. Newell recorded a double-double with 18 points and 11 rebounds to help the Hawks to a 98-80 win over the Suns in Sunday’s first game at Cox Pavilion.
Newell made 6 of 10 field goals and was 4-of-5 on 3-pointers. The 6-10 forward was selected 23rd overall by Atlanta in last month’s draft.
Newell averaged 13 points and 9.5 rebounds in Atlanta’s first two Summer League contests. In his lone college season at Georgia, Newell averaged 15.4 points and was named to the All-SEC freshman team. Newell played high school basketball at Montverde Academy (Florida) with other 2025 first-round picks Cooper Flagg and Derik Queen.
Daniss Jenkins, Detroit Pistons
Jenkins delivered, scoring 23 points and dishing out six assists to help the Pistons roll past Houston 98-83. The 6-4 guard shot 70 percent from the field and was 3 of 4 from 3. Jenkins scored 18 points on a 63.6 percent shooting effort in Detroit’s 104-86 win against New York on Friday.
Jenkins played at four colleges — Pacific, Odessa College (Texas), Iona and St. John’s. Jenkins was undrafted out of St. John’s in 2024 and signed a two-way contract with the Pistons before the 2024 Summer League.
Jenkins spent most of last season in the G-League with the Motor City Cruise. He was named to the G-League All-Rookie Team while averaging 21.2 points and 7.3 assists in 32 games. Jenkins appeared in seven games with the Pistons.
Faces in the crowd
NBA commissioner Adam Silver was in the Thomas & Mack Center to take in the fourth day of the Las Vegas Summer League.
Atlanta had plenty of supporters as it continued its winning ways in Las Vegas. Four-time All-Star guard Trae Young stopped by to watch the Hawks roll past Phoenix and stay undefeated at Summer League.
Teammates Jalen Johnson, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Keaton Wallace, Vit Krejci and Rassoul Gueye sat alongside Young on the baseline at Cox Pavilion.
No. 1 overall pick Cooper Flagg came to the Thomas & Mack Center to watch the early games. Multiple reports said Dallas was going to shut down Flagg for the rest of the Summer League after the 18-year-old scored 31 points on 10-for-21 shooting in a victory over San Antonio on Saturday.
Brooklyn Nets forward Michael Porter Jr. came by to watch his new team face the Wizards. Denver traded Porter and a first-round pick to Brooklyn for Cameron Johnson.
Detroit was also well represented with 2025 All-Star guard Cade Cunningham making an appearance. He was joined on the Thomas & Mack baseline by teammates Duncan Robinson, Ausar Thompson, Tobias Harris and Jaden Ivey.
Also checking out Detroit and Houston were Jabari Smith Jr., Amen Thompson and Dorian Finney-Smith from the Rockets.
