Thybulle agreed to a one-year, $3.3 million contract with the Lakers on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Thybulle spent parts of the last four years with the Trail Blazers, and he's now heading to the Lakers to bolster their depth on the wing. A midseason knee injury held the defensive-minded swingman to just 30 regular-season appearances last year, but he averaged a highly efficient 2.0 steals despite logging a career-low 16.0 minutes per game. Thybulle may not be trusted with a starting role in 2026-27, but he should handle a key role off the bench in the frontcourt.

Lendeborg recorded 21 points (9-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Sunday's 94-90 Summer League championship game win over the Grizzlies.

Lendeborg continued his strong play at Summer League on Sunday, matching a game high in scoring and setting the pace in rebounds. Lendeborg's performance rightfully earned him the Summer League championship game MVP. The No. 11 overall pick impressed throughout the Las Vegas Summer League, averaging 14.8 points, 7.2 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game across six appearances.

Coward finished with 19 points (6-10 FG, 5-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, four assists and a block in 27 minutes during Sunday's Las Vegas Summer League championship loss to the Warriors.

Coward continued his strong play at Summer League on Sunday, matching Cameron Boozer with a team-high 19 points on impressive efficiency. Coward excelled from beyond the arc, connecting on each of his five three-point attempts. The 22-year-old pro will look to take a step forward in his second season after an impressive rookie campaign in which he averaged 13.6 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 25.8 minutes per contest across 62 appearances.

Boozer recorded 19 points (7-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-3 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Sunday's Las Vegas Summer League championship loss to the Warriors.

Boozer put together a solid performance in the Summer League championship after struggling in the semifinals, leading the team in rebounds and matching Cedric Coward for the team high in scoring. Boozer played well throughout both the Salt Lake and Las Vegas Summer Leagues, helping lead his team to a runner-up finish in Las Vegas. The No. 3 overall pick will now shift his focus to getting ready for his first NBA regular season.

Clayton (knee) won't play in Sunday's Summer League title game against the Warriors, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.

Clayton is still dealing with a sprained right knee and will end up missing the entirety of Summer League play. The 23-year-old guard will now turn his attention to the 2026-27 campaign, and he's expected to provide backcourt depth during his second season in the Association.

Lopez (undisclosed) is out for Sunday's Summer League championship game against the Warriors, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.

Lopez will be inactive for a second straight game to close out the Grizzlies' stint in Las Vegas. The No. 21 overall pick dealt with a hamstring injury throughout Summer League, so the team could just be playing it safe with him.

Sears supplied 17 points (2-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six assists, one rebound and one steal across 28 minutes in Sunday's 96-89 Summer League win over the Raptors.

Sears turned in a lackluster shooting performance from the field, though he got to the charity stripe often and finished as Denver's second-leading scorer. The 24-year-old point guard also led the Nuggets in assists in their Summer League finale. After totaling 11 points on 4-of-14 shooting in his first two outings in Las Vegas, Sears combined for 43 points on 10-of-25 shooting in his final two Summer League appearances.

Bittle won't play in Sunday's Summer League game against the Nuggets due to right knee soreness, Zulfi Sheikh of Sportsnet reports.

Bittle was a late scratch for the Nuggets' Summer League finale. He'll finish the Las Vegas Summer League with averages of 9.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.8 blocks and 2.2 assists in 20.6 minutes per game across four appearances.

Oweh (lower leg) didn't play in Sunday's 108-90 Summer League loss to the Nets.

Oweh suffered an apparent lower left leg injury in the Salt Lake City Summer League and did not suit up in Las Vegas. He appeared in two Salt Lake City Summer League outings, averaging 6.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.5 assists in 23.6 minutes per contest.

Simpson (rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's Summer League game against the Raptors, Ryan Blackburn of MileHighSports.com reports.

Simpson will be held out of the Nuggets' Summer League finale for rest purposes. He averaged 18.0 points, 6.5 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 29.6 minutes per tilt over two Las Vegas Summer League appearances.
