Danny Wolf - Scores 20 in SL loss Wolf closed with 20 points (9-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal over 26 minutes in Saturday's 83-76 Summer League loss to the Hawks.

Impact Wolf showed out offensively, matching teammate Chaney Johnson with a game-high 20 points. Coming off a rookie campaign in which he averaged 8.9 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 20.8 minutes per contest across 57 regular-season appearances (15 starts), Wolf will look to use the Summer League to sharpen his game and push for a larger role during the 2026-27 season. That opportunity may be harder to come by, however, after the Nets added Julius Randle at power forward this offseason.

Chaney Johnson - Double-double in SL loss Johnson totaled 20 points (9-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds and five steals over 32 minutes in Saturday's 83-76 Summer League loss to the Hawks.

Impact Johnson was dominant despite the loss, matching teammate Danny Wolf with a game-high 20 points as part of a double-double effort. Of Johnson's 10 rebounds, five came on the offensive glass. He also made his presence felt defensively with five steals, while no other player recorded more than three swipes. The Auburn product saw significant run down the stretch of the 2025-26 regular season with the Nets, averaging 8.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 20.5 minutes per contest across 17 appearances.

Joshua Jefferson - Available to play Saturday Jefferson will play in Saturday's Summer League game versus Atlanta, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Jefferson wasn't available to suit up until the trade between the Timberwolves and Nets centered around Nic Claxton and Julius Randle was finalized. The 22-year-old, selected with the No. 28 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, finished his collegiate career at Iowa State, most recently averaging 16.4 points, 7.4 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 0.8 blocks and 1.6 steals over 30.9 minutes in 35 appearances, including one NCAA Tournament game.

Saniya Rivers - Expected back soon Rivers (ankle) is expected to return to game action by the end of next week, Maggie Vanoni of Hearst reports.

Impact Rivers was taken to the locker room in a wheelchair during Wednesday's loss to Minnesota, though she required the wheelchair due to a bloody nose rather than her sprained left ankle. She can be considered questionable for Tuesday's game against the Fire until the Sun offer an update on her status.

Charlisse Leger-Walker - Scores 10 points Friday Leger-Walker finished with 10 points (4-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal across 25 minutes in Friday's 79-64 loss to the Valkyries.

Impact Leger-Walker made her sixth consecutive start Friday. She combined for just 15 points in her last two appearances. While the 24-year-old scored only 10 points Friday, it was at least a step in the right direction. Following the loss to Golden State, Leger-Walker is now averaging 7.3 points, 2.0 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.1 blocks across 21.7 minutes in 23 regular-season appearances in 2026.

Diamond Miller - Tallies 14 points Friday Miller finished with 14 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and three rebounds across 27 minutes in Friday's 79-64 loss to Golden State.

Impact Miller scored 14 points Friday, her most since the 85-80 loss to Chicago on June 5. Still, the 25-year-old hasn't been a reliable contributor for Connecticut during the 2026 campaign, though she has averaged 8.6 points in 23 regular-season games in 2026, her highest mark since her rookie year in 2023.

Aaliyah Edwards - Logs two steals in loss Edwards finished with 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds and two steals across 27 minutes in Friday's 79-64 loss to the Valkyries.

Impact Edwards combined for seven points in her previous two games ahead of Friday's meeting with the Valkyries. She responded by scoring her third 11-point effort in her last six appearances while recording her first multi-steal performance since the 89-80 loss to the Liberty on June 8. Edwards hasn't been a consistent contributor for Connecticut during the 2026 campaign, though she has a better chance of remaining more productive than usual if she continues to start. However, for that to happen, Brittney Griner (quadriceps) will likely have to miss more time.

Olivia Nelson-Ododa - Scores 12 points in loss Nelson-Ododa finished with 12 points (5-13 FG, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block over 25 minutes in Friday's 79-64 loss to Golden State.

Impact Nelson-Ododa made her sixth consecutive start Friday. She played well once again, finishing two rebounds shy of her second double-double of the 2026 campaign. The 25-year-old also remained active defensively by logging one block, her fourth in as many games.

Danny Wolf - Modest showing in SL win Friday Wolf (back) finished with nine points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one block across 21 minutes in Friday's 91-65 Summer League win over the Knicks.

Impact It wasn't a great performance from Wolf, but it was still an encouraging showing, considering he wasn't available for the California Classic because of a back issue. The 22-year-old appeared in 57 regular-season games for the Nets to begin his NBA career. Although he wasn't a day-to-day producer for the team, he averaged 10.2 points, 2.3 assists, 6.3 rebounds, 0.8 blocks and 0.7 steals over 26.0 minutes in 15 starts. Julius Randle, who was acquired from Minnesota in June, has a firm grasp on the power forward position. While Day'Ron Sharpe is the favorite to start at center, Wolf should have an opportunity to see consistent playing time throughout the 2026-27 campaign.

Impact Brown was locked in on both ends, getting whatever he wanted offensively while wreaking havoc on defense. He likely would have posted an even bigger stat line, but with the Nets comfortably ahead, he spent most of the fourth quarter on the bench.

Egor Dëmin - Scores 20 points in SL win Demin finished Friday's 91-65 Summer League win over the Knicks with 20 points (7-15 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 22 minutes.

Impact Demin shot 0-for-4 from downtown in the first quarter but bounced back in the second, during which he posted 10 points while connecting on two of his four three-point tries. The 20-year-old guard finished the contest tied for the team lead in scoring, and he also matched the team-high mark in triples made. He's reached the 20-point mark in all three of his appearances this summer.
