Overview
- Memphis reached the final after a 101-90 semifinal win over Houston on Saturday led by Cedric Coward’s 28 points and Cameron Boozer’s 12-point, 12-rebound double-double.
- Golden State advanced with a 92-88 semifinal victory over the Lakers on Saturday as rookie Yaxel Lendeborg scored 15 points and made critical free throws late to seal the game.
- The Summer League championship is scheduled for Sunday, July 19 at 9 p.m. ET on ESPN and will be a rematch of a July 14 pool-game meeting that Memphis won decisively.
- Coaches and front offices are treating Summer League as a short, high-visibility tryout where strong outings directly affect decisions on two-way contracts, Exhibit-10 interest and G League assignments.
- Other Day‑9 and Day‑10 standouts — including Brayden Burries, Keaton Wagler, Hannes Steinbach and Meleek Thomas — closed Las Vegas with performances that could earn training-camp invites or roster spots.
