Overview
- The Golden State Warriors defeated the Memphis Grizzlies 94-90 to win the 2026 NBA Summer League title after erasing a double-digit deficit with a 28-14 fourth quarter.
- Yaxel Lendeborg was named championship-game MVP after a 21-point, 10-rebound performance, including seven late points that flipped the game and decisive plays in the final two minutes.
- Memphis’ Cameron Boozer finished with 19 points and eight rebounds but missed a potential go-ahead 3-pointer with 12 seconds left as his team could not stop Golden State’s late surge.
- Golden State reached the final by beating the Los Angeles Lakers 92-88 in the semifinal and Memphis got there with a 101-90 semifinal win over Houston led by Cedric Coward.
- Las Vegas served as a short evaluation window for rookies and fringe players — several draftees and undrafted standouts boosted their stock while teams will use the film, injury notes and workload data to set training-camp invites, two-way offers and G League assignments; this is Golden State’s first Summer League title since 2013.
