Overview
- The Golden State Warriors defeated the Memphis Grizzlies 94-90 to claim the 2026 Las Vegas Summer League championship on Sunday, completing a 5-1 tournament run.
- Rookie Yaxel Lendeborg was named championship-game MVP after a 21-point, 10-rebound double-double and a personal 7-0 run that helped erase a 10-point deficit entering the fourth quarter.
- Reserve Deivon Smith matched Lendeborg with 21 points off the bench on 9-for-14 shooting, and LJ Cryer and Will Richard supplied key scoring and playmaking in the fourth quarter.
- Golden State reached the final by beating the Los Angeles Lakers in the semifinal on Saturday, and the title game avenged an earlier Summer League loss to Memphis.
- Teams will treat these performances as an early evaluation tool for training-camp minutes, two-way or Exhibit‑10 offers and G League assignments, and the Warriors’ win marks the franchise’s second Las Vegas Summer League crown since 2013.
