LAS VEGAS

– The

2026 NBA Summer League

action wrapped up on Sunday, with two consolation games and a championship game featuring two lottery picks from the

2026 NBA Draft

: No. 3 pick Cameron Boozer of the Memphis Grizzlies and No. 11 pick Yaxel Lendeborg of the Golden State Warriors.

Both teams had different paths of getting to the championship game. The Grizzlies had a solid Summer League outing – going 4-1 with an 11.4 point differential to take second place in the

standings

and beat the Houston Rockets

101-90

on Saturday to advance to the Finals.

For the Warriors, they snuck into the semifinals. The Denver Nuggets had to win their game vs. the Portland Trail Blazers on

Thursday

by more than 15 points to reach the semis, but the Warriors’ 5.8 point differential proved to be the difference. The Warriors beat the Los Angeles Lakers

92-88

on Saturday to reach the Finals.

These two teams faced off earlier in Vegas, where the Grizzlies beat the Warriors

106-85

. This time around, the Warriors flipped the script and defeated the Grizzlies

94-90.

This is the second time the Warriors won the Las Vegas Summer League title (2013), with Lendeborg winning the MVP of the game.

Take a look at the top performers from the last day of NBA Summer League action in Las Vegas.

1. Yaxel Lendeborg, Golden State Warriors

Lendeborg was the driving force behind the Warriors’ championship win, as he showed off his versatility and answered the challenge on both ends.

Defensively, he forced Boozer to shoot 41.2% from the field and 3-for-7 from 3-point range. Despite picking up his fourth foul in the third quarter, he managed to stay out of foul trouble for the rest of the game.

He finished with a 21-point, 10-rebound double-double while draining two 3-pointers. He went on a personal 7-0 run in the fourth quarter that provided the Warriors with enough momentum to close out the game.

In Las Vegas Summer League action, Lendeborg finished with 14.8 ppg, 6.8 rpg and 4.0 assists. His 21-point, 10-rebound performance was eerily similar to his first game in Las Vegas.

2. Deivon Smith, Golden State Warriors

Smith provided the second unit with stability as he dropped 21 points and grabbed nine rebounds – an impressive feat from the six-foot guard who went to St. Johns.

He played for the Santa Cruz Warriors for part of the 2025-26 G League season. In

nine games

, he averaged 17.2 ppg and shot 39.3% from 3-point range.

Jones was critical in the Warriors’ championship win as he relentlessly attacked the basket and sought out holes in the Grizzlies’ defense.

3. Will Richard, Golden State Warriors

Richard heated up in the second half as the second-year guard ended with 13 points on an efficient 5-for-10 shooting while draining three 3-pointers.

When the Warriors’ offense looked stagnant in the second half, it was Richard who provided the spark.

Most of his shots came as he patiently waited to catch and shoot on the perimeter. He showed his growth and development during Summer League action and was opportunistic.

4. Cameron Boozer, Memphis Grizzlies

Despite the loss, Boozer had himself a decent game. He finished with 19 points, eight rebounds and nailed three 3-pointers.

Boozer found his rhythm late. He drilled a 3-pointer to force the Warriors into a timeout at 91-90 with 1:20 remaining in the fourth quarter, but that would be the last field goal he would make in the game.

5. Cedric Coward, Memphis Grizzlies

Throughout Summer League action, Coward provided veteran presence as the second-year guard had a productive week in Las Vegas.

In the championship game, he notched 19 points, six rebounds and four assists while making all five of his 3-point attempts.

Coward averaged

13.6 ppg

last season as a rookie, and although he was the most experienced of the Grizzlies’ Summer League roster, it was important for Coward to find some momentum with Boozer heading into training camp.
