Scores 16 points in SL loss Wagler finished with 16 points (6-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and four assists across 30 minutes in Tuesday's 99-85 Summer League loss to the Lakers.

Impact Wagler had 23 points in Sunday's 104-82 Summer League win over Utah. He wasn't as productive Tuesday, but it was still a quality effort.
