Watch Utah's Brice Sensabaugh go off for 37 in Summer League, Ace Bailey looks better in second outing
Case in point: Utah's Brice Sensabaugh. The former Ohio State forward played 71 games for the Jazz last season, and on Monday night went out and dropped 37 in Utah's win over Memphis in the Salt Lake Summer League.

Also of note from that game: Utah's No. 5 pick Ace Bailey looked much more comfortable after a rough first outing. What rookies do in Summer League is more of a measuring stick than anything else, but a good sign is a player who learns and improves over the course of those games. Bailey did that between his first two Summer League games.

Warriors champion reportedly has interest from Milwaukee Bucks
The Golden State Warriors did what they had to do with the trade deadline a year ago, following their involvement in the Jimmy Butler sweepstakes for many months. Butler, who has proven throughout his career to be a big-time playoff performer, didn't necessarily have the best first year in Golden State. Advertisement However, some of that can be attributed to the injuries the Warriors faced, including those to him. The Warriors were ultimately eliminated by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the second round of the Western Conference playoffs. Stephen Curry was out in that series, a significant reason for the loss. However, part of that deal for Butler included trading Andrew Wiggins, which likely wasn't the easiest decision from the Warriors' perspective. Wiggins has dealt with some personal things over the past few years, and Golden State fans weren't too happy about it. At the end of the day, personal life takes over when it comes to basketball. There are many more important things in life than playing a game, and Wiggins made sure that was the case. Advertisement Fans can be upset about it, but it's the reality of the situation. MORE: Doc Rivers gives Bucks fans good news amid Giannis Antetokounmpo trade rumors But now, as things continue to unfold, his future in Miami is somewhat questionable. According to a recent report from Heat insider Greg Sylvander, Wiggins is now being linked to an Eastern Conference contender in the form of the Milwaukee Bucks. 'Milwaukee may be another suitor for Andrew Wiggins,' Sylvander wrote via Discord. There have been reports over the past few years that the Bucks have been interested in Wiggins, but nothing has materialized on that front. Perhaps this time, the Bucks could add the former Warriors champion. Golden State saw what he brings when he's on a contending team, so Milwaukee would have to hope for the same.

Carter Bryant's Spurs contract creates first ‘crazy' NBA moment
The post Carter Bryant's Spurs contract creates first 'crazy' NBA moment appeared first on ClutchPoints. By his own admission, it's been a whirlwind of an off-season for San Antonio Spurs draft pick Carter Bryant. And that was before he signed his first NBA contract. Advertisement 'Crazy,' the 14th overall selection of the 2025 NBA Draft continued. 'It's still surreal.' Bryant is one of two players the Silver and Black took in the first round. Both in the lottery. 'I think for me, just throughout my childhood, it's always been a dream of mine,' the former Arizona Wildcat shared about inking a deal in the greatest basketball league in the world. Carter Bryant contract details Per the NBA's rookie scale contract regulations, Bryant will make $4.9M his rookie season. The next year, he'll earn $5.1M. In 2027-2028, the Spurs will have a team option with his deal set to reach $5.4M annually. In 2028-'29, the 19-year-old wing will be eligible for an extension while San Antonio has the team option on his $8M salary. If the two sides don't reach an agreement by the summer of '28, Harper would become a restricted free agent before the '29-'30 season. Advertisement 'For it to actually be here and for me to start something that I hope is very good for a long time, it's just crazy to me,' the Riverside, California native admitted. The 6-foot-7, 215-pound forward played one season at the University of Arizona, where he averaged 6.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.0 blocks and 0.9 steals while shooting 46.0% from the floor and 37.1% from three-point range in 37 games. Bryant was named a McDonald's All-American after averaging 17.0 points and 9.0 rebounds as a senior at Corona Centennial High School. As a junior at Sage Hill High School, he received the 2023 Wooden Award as the boys basketball player of the year for CIF Southern Section District IV after averaging 22.1 points, 13.7 rebounds, 4 assists, 2.9 blocks, and 1.6 steals. Bryant now looks to spearhead the Spurs Summer League team when they begin play in San Francisco at the California Classic. Dylan Harper, the organization's pick with the second overall selection, has been ruled out for that portion of the team's competition. He should join the team when they head to Las Vegas, Nevada for the NBA 2K26 Summer League. Bryant is set to be there for that swing as well.
