Impact Stirtz played well in his previous two Las Vegas Summer League appearances, but he was even better Tuesday, scoring a team-high 22 points. However, it wasn't enough to lift Oklahoma City to its first win of the summer. Stirtz needs to improve his three-point shooting while addressing his turnover issues. While the 22-year-old should get sporadic playing time during the 2026-27 campaign, he may have trouble finding consistent minutes.

Paces OKC in Summer League loss Stirtz supplied 18 points (7-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two assists, one steal and one block across 28 minutes in Friday's 96-84 Summer League loss to the Lakers.

Impact Stirtz turned in an efficient performance en route to a team-high 18 points, and he was the only Thunder player to score more than 12. The rookie out of Iowa delivered his highest-scoring performance of the summer Friday and has reached double figures in two of his three appearances between the Salt Lake City and Las Vegas Summer Leagues. He'll likely face an uphill battle for a consistent role in a crowded Thunder backcourt during the 2026-27 campaign.

Starting Friday Stirtz is starting in Friday's Las Vegas Summer League game versus the Lakers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Impact Stirtz skipped Tuesday's Salt Lake City Summer League finale, but he's back in action and starting for Oklahoma City's Las Vegas Summer League run. Through two games in Salt Lake City, Stirtz averaged 9.5 points, 3.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game.

Inactive Tuesday Stirtz (undisclosed) didn't play in Tuesday's 103-69 Salt Lake City Summer League loss to the Jazz.

Impact Stirtz logged 29 minutes in the front end of this back-to-back set, so it's possible he was simply given a rest day Tuesday. His next opportunity to suit up will come when the Thunder open the Las Vegas Summer League against the Lakers on Friday.

JULY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet outing in loss Stirtz produced 10 points (3-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT) with four assists, three rebounds and three steals in 24 minutes of Sunday's 111-74 Summer League loss to the Thunder.

Impact The No. 16 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, Stirtz had a well-balanced line despite the lopsided loss. The Thunder traded up for him and obviously rate him highly, but his path to minutes as a rookie is pretty crowded in Oklahoma City's stacked backcourt.
