    Live Updates: 2026 NBA Summer League, Day 11 | Warriors, Grizzlies seek Summer League championship

    Taylor Hendricks and the Memphis Grizzlies are taking on the Golden State Warriors with the 2026 NBA Summer League championship on the line on ESPN.

    Welcome to our live blog of Sunday’s action in the 2026 NBA Summer League, which culminates in the championship game between No. 3 pick Cameron Boozer’s Grizzlies and No. 11 pick Yaxel Lendeborg’s Warriors!

    Dion Brown (16 pts, 10 reb, 11 ast) and John Ukomadu (23 pts, 9 reb, 2 stl, 2 blk) led seven double-figure scorers for the Nets in defeating the Thunder 108-90 to finish their Vegas run with a winning record.

    Jahmi’us Ramsey (20 pts on 9-for-9 shooting) capped Denver’s Summer League outing as they beat the Raptors 96-89.

    Coming up, we have the 2026 NBA Summer League championship, with No. 11 pick Yaxel Lendeborg and the Warriors taking on No. 3 pick Cameron Boozer and the Grizzlies!

    JULY 19 / 9:47 p.m. ET

    Tied at 47 at the half

    It’s a fittingly tight contest between two of the best teams of the Vegas summer league.

    LJ Cryer and Cedric Coward lead their respective teams with 11 points apiece.

    The Grizzlies are still shooting 60.6% from the field, but the Warriors have taken 10 more shots than the Grizzlies;

    JULY 19 / 9:42 p.m. ET

    Yaxel to the rack

    Yaxel Lendeborg (9 pts, 2 reb) just shook Cameron Boozer (7 pts, 4 reb, 2 ast) and drove baseline for the and-one layup, then converted a putback on back-to-back possessions.

    Boozer responded with a 3-pointer of his own. The rookies are shining here.

    43-42 Warriors with 1:36 to go in the half.

    JULY 19 / 9:24 p.m. ET

    Grizzlies up 24-23 after one

    We’ve got a scrappy, competitive contest going in the Thomas & Mack Center, as the Warriors and Grizzlies chase the first championship of the 2026-27 NBA season.

    Devion Smith (9 pts) and LJ Cryer (8 pts) have done most of the scoring for Golden State, while Javon Small (8 pts) leads the way for Memphis.

    Yaxel Lendeborg (4 pts, 1 reb, 1 stl) and Cameron Boozer (2 pts, 4 reb, 1 ast) have hustled and chipped in around the edges so far. Lendeborg got free in the open court for a fast break finish; Boozer is a force on the boards.

    The Grizzlies took 27 shots to the Warriors’ 18 in the first quarter, buoyed by Boozer’s rebounding.

    Memphis is shooting 37.2%, while Golden State’s at 61.1%, but the Grizzlies lead by one.

    JULY 19 / 9:17 p.m. ET

    Cam Boozer on the importance of the Summer League championship

    “Very important. We came here to win,” Cameron Boozer said of the championship contest. “It’s a high-intensity game.”

    JULY 19 / 9:14 p.m. ET

    Grizzlies picking up full court

    Memphis is dogging Golden State all the way up the floor, forcing them to start offense late in the shot clock.

    It’s an interesting strategic move early in tonight’s contest that could allow the Grizzlies to flex their depth and physical intensity.

    20-13 Grizzlies with 3:23 to go in the first quarter.

    JULY 19 / 9:00 p.m. ET

    It’s the championship game of the 2026 NBA Summer League!

    These are two of the deepest, most talented teams this summer — it’s a fitting contest to conclude our time in Las Vegas.

    JULY 19 / 8:31 p.m. ET

    Get ready for the Summer League championship!

    Yaxel Lendeborg’s led the Warriors all summer, beginning with a perfect shooting outing and demonstrating a strong all-around game. He’s joined by a series of NBA veterans, including Will Riley and Lachlan Olbrich, as well as talented veterans like LJ Cryer, who’s had some big scoring performances.

    The Grizzlies’ summer squad is stacked. In addition to No. 3 pick Cameron Boozer, who can do everything on the floor and keeps working, they boast All-Rookie First Team member Cedric Coward and a ton of players with NBA experience, including Olivier Maxence-Prosper, Taylor Hendricks, Javon Small and Jahmai Mashack.

    It should be a good one tonight on ESPN.

    JULY 19 / 8:22 p.m. ET

    Nuggets win 96-89

    Jahmi’us Ramsey (20 pts on 9-for-9 shooting, 8 reb, 2 stl) had a perfect outing to cap Denver’s Summer League run, as they outlasted the Raptors in a close contest.

    The Nuggets won the third quarter 30-20 to take the advantage.

    Nimari Bennett (15 pts, 9 reb) was the top scorer for the Raptors, who earned a 50-38 edge in points in the paint.

    The Toronto Raptors lead the Denver Nuggets 47-45 at the half in their final Las Vegas action.

    Mark Sears (12 pts, 4 ast), the Denver point guard, leads all scorers.

    From the baseline, the Thunder admin caught Nate Johnson finding Sam Alexis (6 pts, 5 reb) for the slam.

    Steven Ashworth (12 pts, 2 3PM) leads the Thunder in scoring.

  • 2026 NBA Summer League: Dominant Nets roll to win over Thunder

    Brooklyn Nets logo Nets 108, Oklahoma City Thunder logo Thunder 90: Box Score | Game Detail 

    LAS VEGAS — The Brooklyn Nets defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder, 108-90, in their finale to the 2026 NBA Summer League on Sunday.

    The Nets established a 37-24 lead after the first quarter.

    Brooklyn won the second quarter 23-21 and the third 22-19, so by the time the fourth quarter arrived, the game was completely out of reach for the Thunder.

    The Nets ended up winning by a comfortable 18-point margin after shooting an impressive 51.9 percent from the floor and 33.3 percent from downtown.

    Meanwhile, the Thunder shot 37.7 percent from the floor and 30.0 percent from deep.

    Seven of the eight Nets who saw the floor scored in double figures, with John Ukomadu leading the way with 23 points and nine rebounds across 24 minutes.

    Dion Brown posted an impressive triple-double, recording 16 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds. Hunter Sallis and Duke Brennan each had 12 points, while Aaron Scott delivered 15 points, five rebounds and five steals.

    Steven Ashworth led the way for the Thunder with 22 points and four assists. Jabri Abdur-Rahim had 17 points and three rebounds off the bench, while Andrew Holifield added 14 points as a member of the second unit.

    The only other starter who scored in double digits for the Thunder was Bryce Harris, who notched a 13-point, 10-rebound double-double.

  • Cayden Daughtry, Antonio Pemberton stand out as top performers at Nike Peach Jam, adidas 3SSB

    Cayden Daughtry, Antonio Pemberton stand out as top performers at Nike Peach Jam, adidas 3SSB

    Cayden Daughtry was one of the top players at the Nike Peach Jam tournament.

    Rock Hill, S.C. – Nike’s Peach Jam and the adidas 3SSB Championship are the top two events of the summer and located only two hours apart, making it very convenient for college coaches and NBA scouts to spend ample time at both tournaments. 

    Champions were crowned and AAU legends were made as Cayden Daughtry cemented himself as the best player in the EYBL this season, leading his team to a title win and receiving the very first MVP of the tournament. 

    On the adidas 3SSB circuit, it was New Heights that took the win over Mass Rivals in a thriller of a finish. Kamsi Awaka was the anchor of the defense that helped elevate the team over the offensive prowess of point guard Antonio Pemberton. 

    Plenty of other players shined on Championship Sunday between both events. Here are the top performers. 

    Cayden Daughtry, Class of 2027

    No player has had a more impactful summer than Daughtry. The 6-foot point guard found different ways to score at will as he guided his team throughout the tournament. Even when they lost in triple overtime in pool play to the New York Rens, Daughtry answered with a 35-point performance against UPlay Canada.

    Daughtry made history when he set the Peach Jam single-game scoring record after recording 43 points in the 84-83 loss to the New York Rens in one of the craziest Peach Jam games in recent memory. The buzz around Daughtry was electric all tournament long and he capitalized on every opportunity. 

    “Obviously I’m a little tired,” Daughtry said. “But just knowing that I’m here for a bigger reason, my coaches and my teammates, and I just want to win so I’m going to do whatever that takes no matter how I’m feeling.” 

    He went on to average 34.8 points per game, shattering the Peach Jam record that was previously held by Cam Thomas (29.5). In the Peach Jam finals against Drive Nation, he posted 33 points, nine rebounds and six assists in the 71-60 win over Drive Nation. 

    Antonio Pemberton, Class of 2027

    No player was more electric at the adidas 3SSB Championship than Pemberton. After hitting the game-winner against powerhouse Compton Magic, he didn’t let up and averaged 31.2 points per game in the playoffs. 

    Pemberton fell short in the U17 Finals when he met a very tough New Heights team that swarmed him every single time he touched the ball. He was still able to get off shots for 33 points in the 66-64 loss, but he went 10-for-27 from the field and the New Heights guards made it impossible for him to get any good looks. 

    North Carolina head coach Mike Malone and two assistants were sitting on the baseline along with Boston College head coach Luke Murray and assistants from Marquette, Kansas, South Carolina and Michigan State. 

    Kamari Whyte, Class of 2027 

    Whyte had the impossible task of guarding Pemberton all game and did an excellent job, limiting his touches on offense and even blocking a shot. He knew the game plan coming in was the first line of defense, jumping to the ball and anticipating Pemberton’s first step. 

    Whyte has excellent positional size and used that to his advantage against the 6-foot-1 Pemberton in head-to-head matchups. He was the player of the game as New Heights took home their first 3SSB Championship and played his best game of the weekend on Sunday.

    The 6-foot-4 guard finished with 20 points (7-for-14 from the field), six rebounds, two assists and one block in the 66-64 win over Mass Rivals. 

    Whyte reclassed back down to the 2027 class and will play his senior season at Blair Academy (New Jersey). He took official visits to Marquette and Georgia Tech in June and also holds offers from Virginia Tech and Villanova.

    Kamsi Awaka, Class of 2027

    Awaka was the Defensive Player of the Year on the adidas 3SSB and he showed why in the title game with five blocked shots, nine rebounds and 10 points. He was guarding Pemberton off the switch and moved his feet extremely well for his 6-foot-9, 230-pound frame. The guards for Mass Rivals couldn’t get anything going to the rim and the help-side defense was anchored by Awaka with how well they rotated off ball movement. 

    Kamsi is the younger brother of Tobe Awaka, who played his senior year at Arizona before being picked up for Summer League by the Chicago Bulls.

    Kamsi was a critical piece to the championship team and Mass Rivals had no answer for how he maneuvered in the paint on both ends of the court. 

    Hudson Hatch, Class of 2028

    Hatch was the unsung hero for Team Loaded as they reached their first 3SSB Championship in program history. The 6-foot-10 forward is a dream scenario in the pick-and-pop and had the game of his life against Midwest Basketball Club.

    Team Loaded made a second-half comeback and the game came down to the wire with Midwest going up by two points with five seconds to go. Hatch set a ball screen and popped right away and didn’t hesitate on a 3-point shot that went in at the buzzer. He finished with a team-high 18 points (5-for-7 from three) and was a program hero for nailing the biggest shot in his career. 

    Hatch holds offers from Oklahoma State, Richmond and Charleston but expect other high major programs to get involved with his smooth jumper from long range and fearlessness to hit big shots with the game on the line.

  • España, el gran campeón del Mundial 2026: venció con justicia a Argentina y se quedó con la copa

    A veces el fútbol se olvida del azar y se hace el justo. A veces premia al que más lo intenta, al que más lo merece y al que mejor lo juega. Eso fue España, el equipo que hizo todo lo posible por ser el campeón del Mundial 2026, y no cualquier campeón, este es uno que emocionó con su juego de armonía, con ese juego que te invita, que te emboba, que emociona. Y con ese fútbol delicioso, España le ganó 1-0 a la aguerrida Argentina, la de Messi, y celebra la segunda corona de su historia, con autoridad, con belleza y con justicia.    

    El partido arrancó y de inmediato España agarró el balón como si fuera suyo, como advirtiendo de su dominio y que no lo iba a prestar, como si no fuera un balón sino una bola de cristal en la que los jugadores vieron toda la gloria que les esperaba después de 120 minutos.  Los músicos españoles empezaron a tocar lo que saben: uno, dos, tres pases, atrás, al lado, al frente, aplausos, y los argentinos eran guerreros vigilantes, de esos que no se atreven, pero sudan; España seguía en lo suyo, 4, 5, 6 pases, pared, un taco abusivo, un primer remate de Yamal a las manos del Dibu. España , sin embargo, supo no solo necesitaba de su fútbol mágico, necesitaba de ingenio. Fue cuando Oryazabal encontró la pelota refundida al borde del área y lanzó un buen disparo que atajó el portero argentino. Minutos después, intervino Cucurella con un zurdazo rasante y la pelota pasó muy cerca. España llegaba, pero apenas eran escaramuzas. 

    El primer tiempo fue pobre en general. Se agotó y todavía no se sentía la atmósfera de ser el partido definitivo, no había goles, no había aparecido ni Messi –si acaso tocó la pelota–. España, cansado de tener el balón, no liquidaba; Argentina, cansado de defender, no se decidía a arriesgar: este partido todavía no parecía la final. Si se esperaba suspenso, era un cursi melodrama. Cuando sonó el silbato de los 45, los equipos se sintieron como en tregua. Necesitaban descansar, no sus piernas sino su mente. Prometiendo volver a jugar la final que aún parecía que no jugaban.

    De vuelta, España fue la mejor España, retomó su conducta asfixiante y su agarró su pelota mágica. Baena fue el primero en intentarlo. Después Ferrán Torres. Luego Pedri… Y como los atacantes no podían, los defensas fueron a intentarlo, con el remate de Cubarsí y el cabezazo de Laporte. Solo faltaba que el portero Simón, aburrido de tanta quietud, también fuera a probar. Lo de España ya no era música, era monólogo. Pero sin gol. Y mientras tanto, el Dibu volaba de un lado al otro para ser el héroe. Los jugadores argentinos sintieron que su rival parecía un vendaval que los empujaba contra su arco y los asfixiaba. Y ellos, aunque peleaban y braveaban, no lograban ni respirar. Y si miraban a Messi era para preguntarle, ¿estás?

    Sin embargo, no se veía cómo España iba a vencer al Dibu, ni como Argentina iba a conocer al arco rival. El partido se aceraba a la prórroga, pero los hinchas ya apostaban por quiénes iban a patear los penaltis. Antes del alargue, Argentina perdió a Enzo Fernández por expulsión. Y si con 11 ya eran una pared, con 10 iban a ser una muralla troyana. Los 90 minutos se acabaron –hubo otra atajada del Dibu, a Yamal– y los jugadores albicelestes miraron otra vez a Messi como para preguntarle, ¿y ahora que hacemos?

    Los hinchas que les temen a los penaltis clamaron por un gol en el alargue, unito, como fuera, no tenía que ser lindo. Pero España encontró otra vez las manos del milagroso Dibu ante remate de Nico Williams. Al propio Williams le anularon un gol por una falta previa.

    Pasaron 105 minutos para que España, por fin, pudiera vencer al Dibu. Williams bajó la pelota como quien baja el sol, y Ferran Torres la agarró plena, en llamas, pateó con la fuerza de todos los españoles y anotó el gol heroico, el 1-0.

    PERIODISTAActualizado:

    España y Argentina protagonizaron este domingo un partido con tintes de drama en el Metlife Stadium de Nueva Jersey. El gol fue esquivo en los 90 minutos del tiempo regular y la definición por el título de la Copa del Mundo se alargó hasta el tiempo extra donde hubo bastante polémica por un gol anulado al cuadro ibérico.

    La gran final del Mundial 2026 quedó en deuda durante gran parte de los 90 minutos. La selección de España fue la más peligrosa en el campo, pero Argentina resistió y con una monumental presentación de Emiliano ‘Dibu’ Martínez logró llevar la definición al tiempo extra.

    El tiempo suplementario arrancó con emociones y mucha polémica. Sobre el minuto 95, Nico Williams rompió el empate a cero en el marcador, pero el árbitro esloveno Slavko Vincic anuló la anotación por una falta en ataque.

    La transmisión oficial mostró la rápida jugada en la que, a primera vista no se observó qué infracción sancionó el árbitro europeo. Desde otro ángulo sí se vio que el español Mikel Merino, mientras trataba de aguantar la posición, le pisó el pie al argentino Nicolás Otamendi, quien se lamentó en el suelo.

    Los futbolistas de la selección de España y el cuerpo técnico encabezado por Luis de la Fuente solicitaron la revisión en el VAR, pero el juez se mantuvo en su decisión y el gol no subió al marcador.

    “El gol de España lo anulan por un pisotón sobre Otamendi de Mikel Merino. La acción fue juzgada en campo por Vincic y al no haber un error claro, obvio o grosero por parte del árbitro el VAR no interviene. Si lo llaman le estarían mostrando nuevamente el pisotón. Es decir, prácticamente imposible que cambiara su decisión tras ir al monitor”, señaló la página el VAR Central.

  • Video | Esta fue la falta de Enzo Fernández contra Cubarsí que dejó a Argentina con 10 en la final del Mundial

    La final del Mundial 2026 tuvo que definir su campeón en tiempos extras. Argentina y España igualaron 0-0 durante los 90 minutos reglamentarios, por lo que el título se decidió en la prórroga en el MetLife Stadium de Nueva Jersey.

    El duelo enfrentó a dos generaciones del fútbol mundial. Por un lado, Lionel Messi, quien busca revalidar la corona conquistada con la Albiceleste en Catar 2022; por el otro, Lamine Yamal, la joven estrella española llamada a marcar una nueva era en el deporte.

    La selección de Argentina sufrió un duro contratiempo en los instantes finales del tiempo reglamentario de la final del Mundial 2026. Enzo Fernández fue expulsado después del minuto 90 tras recibir su segunda tarjeta amarilla por una fuerte infracción sobre el defensor español Pau Cubarsí.

    La acción obligó al mediocampista argentino a abandonar el terreno de juego justo antes del inicio de la prórroga, dejando a la Albiceleste con diez jugadores en el momento más decisivo del partido.

    La expulsión encendió las alarmas en el banco argentino, ya que Fernández había sido una pieza clave en la mitad de la cancha durante el encuentro. Su ausencia obligó al cuerpo técnico a reorganizar el equipo para afrontar el tiempo extra en inferioridad numérica.

    España intentó aprovechar de inmediato la ventaja de hombres y aumentó la presión sobre el arco rival. Con más espacios y mayor control de la posesión, el conjunto dirigido por La Roja buscó inclinar la balanza a su favor en la lucha por el título mundial.

    Miles de mexicanos se apostaron este domingo frente a una pantalla gigante colocada en el Zócalo de la Ciudad de México, para atestiguar la final del Mundial 2026 entre España y Argentina, con simpatía para ambas selecciones, pero un poco más para la española.

    Desde, al menos, seis horas antes los primeros aficionados llegaron a la llamada Plaza de la Constitución, la plaza pública y política más grande del país, donde llenaron el Fan Fest (festival futbolero).

    Precisamente ante “la alta afluencia de asistentes”, la Secretaría de Seguridad Ciudadana (SSC) de la capital invitó a los ciudadanos a disfrutar del partido en otro de los más de 19 festivales futboleros en la metrópoli.

    En el Zócalo, predominaron las camisetas de color verde, de la selección mexicana, que se quedó en los octavos de final, pero también hubo aficionados que portaron la camiseta Roja, en apoyo a España, y la albiceleste, para alentar a Argentina.

    Por su parte, Gustavo, un argentino de 45 años y que radica desde hace varios meses en México, pidió: “ojalá que los planetas se alineen y que Messi aparezca con un gol consagratario, aunque sea por 0,5 a cero, pero que gane Argetina”.

    Mientras que Magda, una española de 34 años, dijo que en México “se sentían muy arropados”, mientras que Juanjo, de 43 años, ambos de Málaga, contó que “nunca penso vivir una final del Mundial en un sitio tan emblemático como el Zócalo”.

  • News & Notes from Around the NFL: Wedding season isn’t just for Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift; former Jets LB Anthony Wint off to 6-0 MMA start

    News from the north. While the NFL’s 2026 season doesn’t kick off until September, the Canadian Football League is in full swing and there are quite a few familiar names plying their trade in the CFL – and some interesting names who might be.

    2017 NFL Draft “Mr. Irrelevant” Chad Kelly, the nephew of Hall of Famer Jim Kelly, is in his fourth season with the Toronto Argonauts. The 2023 CFL Most Outstanding Player has thrown for 2,126 yards (second in the CFL) and 15 touchdowns (second). Unfortunately, his nine interceptions lead the league through six games played. Kelly was drafted by the Denver Broncos. He played just one NFL game in his career, was released in 2018 by Denver and signed with the Indianapolis Colts in 2019. He was released in 2020 by the club, concluding an NFL career mired by an arrest for trespassing following a Halloween party and a suspension for violation of the league’s personal conduct policy.

    KeeSean Johnson, previously a wide receiver with the Arizona Cardinals and a handful of other NFL teams, has 36 receptions (third in the CFL) for 479 receiving yards (third) and three touchdowns through five games.

    While Kelly and Johnson are playing in the CFL, the door has been opened for a few notable names to join them. CFL teams have negotiation lists of up to 45 players who are playing in the NFL, other pro leagues, etc. Those teams have exclusive CFL negotiating rights with the players should they choose to sign into the league.

    Denzel Mims, a 2020 second-round pick of the Jets who’s currently on the Cowboys, has been added to the Argos’ negotiation list as has quarterback Hendon Hooker (Tennessee Titans).

    Elsewhere, wide receiver Chase Claypool, a native Canadian, is on the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ list, as is running back Deuce Vaughn. Diego Pavia (Baltimore Ravens) is on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers list

  • Winning Super Bowl is ‘what’s left for’ Dak Prescott: ‘It’s that or nothing’

    Those expectations follow the Cowboys annually, but they’ve been unfulfilled since the 1995 season when the Dallas dynasty headlined by Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin won its third Super Bowl in four years and the franchise’s fifth overall.

    Not only haven’t the Cowboys won a Super Bowl since then, but they haven’t advanced past the Divisional Round in that time span.

    Currently, Dallas is on a two-season hiatus from the playoffs and hasn’t won a postseason game since 2022 in the wild-card round.

    Despite the recent struggles, Prescott answered in the affirmative that Super Bowl aspirations are more realistic in 2026.

    “Absolutely,” he said. “Obviously, each year you think that, but when you have last year as we did, the offense that we did, you make the changes and you’ve got a great defensive coordinator … yeah, and us understanding what needs to be done.”

    In 2025, the Cowboys were seventh in the league in scoring and second in yards offensively. However, the defense was a mess, finishing dead last in points allowed.

    Prescott is of the belief that the offensive talent and chemistry will carry over and be complemented by the addition of Christian Parker as defensive coordinator and some fresh defensive additions.

    That remains to be seen, but as training camp awaits, expectations are of the Super Bowl height.

    Prescott’s replies to reporters were follow-ups from comments he made on a live stream previously.

    He said that he loved being a Cowboys player and loved Cowboys nation because it’s “Super Bowl or bust.”

    Unfortunately, by that logic, Dallas has gone bust for 30 years. To the credit of its four-time Pro Bowl quarterback, those Lombardi hopes, dreams and expectations return at the dawn of every new season.
