Report: Sixers to sign undrafted free agent Izan Almansa to Exhibit 10
The Philadelphia 76ers continue to load up on undrafted free agents as they prepare for the offseason. After signing Wake Forest's Hunter Sallis to a two-way deal immediately once the draft ended and then signing Tennessee's Igor Milicic Jr. to an Exhibit 10, the Sixers have reportedly made another undrafted free agent move. Per The Philly Voice, the Sixers will bring in Spain's Izan Almansa on an Exhibit 10 deal. Almansa has played for Overtime Elite, G League Ignite, and most recently the Perth Wildcats in Australia where he averaged 7.2 points and 4.0 rebounds while shooting 52% from the floor and 30.4% from deep in the 2024-25 season. Almansa stands at 6-foot-10 and won the 2023 U19 basketball championship with Spain on his way to winning MVP honors. He was invited to the green room for Round 2 of the draft, but obviously, went undrafted. He will now have an opportunity with the Sixers to earn his next chance in his basketball career.

Pacers' NBA Summer League schedule filled with playoff rematches
INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Pacers' NBA Summer League schedule will include three playoff rematches of sorts. Though few if any players who had significant role in the postseason series will be playing in Las Vegas, the Pacers summer squad will take on those of the Cleveland Cavaliers, New York Knicks and Oklahoma City Thunder, the Pacers' opponents in the Eastern Conference semifinals and finals and NBA Finals. The Pacers will also play the Bulls Summer League team, a rematch of playoff series in the distant past. Pacers draft grades: 'A pick destined to make Indiana look smart in a few years' and Round 2's 'biggest stunner' The Pacers open play against the Cavs on July 10 at 5 pm. ET in Las Vegas' Cox Pavilion in a game televised on NBA TV. They then play the Thunder on July 12 at 5:30 p.m., also at Cox Pavilion on NBA TV. They get the Bulls on July 14 at 6 p.m. at Cox Pavilion on ESPN U and then the Knicks at 4:30 p.m. July 17 on ESPN2 at the Thomas & Mack Center. They will play a fifth game either as part of the playoffs or in a consolation game between July 18-20. The Summer League schedule was released on Friday afternoon after the NBA draft concluded with the second round Friday. The Pacers chose Marquette guard Kam Jones with the No. 38 pick and Liberty guard Taelon Peter with the 54th pick. Both players almost certainly be part of the Pacers' Summer League roster as will East Carolina guard RJ Felton, Connecticut center Samson Johnson and Creighton guard Steven Ashworth, who signed undrafted free agent contracts likely to be Exhibit 10 deals on Thursday night. Of the Pacers' returning players, wing Johnny Furphy and forward Enrique Freeman are likely to take part in Summer League after spending their rookie seasons with the Pacers.

Lakers are signing Arthur Kaluma to Exhibit 10 contract
The Los Angeles Lakers made a couple of moves on Thursday that netted them the draft rights to Adou Thiero, an athletic 6-foot-8 wing from the University of Arkansas who was the No. 36 pick in the draft. But they weren't done. They got Eric Dixon, a 6-foot-8 forward from Villanova University who led the NCAA in scoring this past season, to agree to a two-way contract. In addition, they got guard Augustas Marčiulionis and guard RJ Davis to agree to Exhibit 10 contracts. Los Angeles also scooped up Arthur Kaluma from the University of Texas on an Exhibit 10 deal. Kaluma is originally from Boston and spent his childhood in multiple locations, including Glendale, Ariz., where he went to Dream City Christian School. After signing his National Letter of Intent to play at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, he ended up starting his college career at Creighton University. He transferred to Kansas State University for his junior season before playing for the Longhorns this past season. He averaged double figures in scoring in all four of his seasons in the NCAA and topped out at 14.4 points a game during the 2023-24 campaign. This past season, he put up 12.3 points and 7.5 rebounds per game and shot 46.2% from the field and 35.9% from 3-point range. At 6-foot-7 and 220 pounds, he has a seven-foot wingspan and could potentially play both forward positions at the next level.

Lakers sign Tar Heels guard RJ Davis to Exhibit 10 contract
After the 2025 NBA Draft concluded on Thursday, the Los Angeles Lakers continued to put in work by picking up some undrafted players. They got Eric Dixon, a forward from Villanova University who led the NCAA in scoring this past season, to agree to a two-way contract, and they also brought in Saint Mary's College guard Augustas Marčiulionis, the son of Hall of Famer Šarūnas Marčiulionis, on an Exhibit 10 contract. Los Angeles also got RJ Davis, a guard out of the University of North Carolina, on an Exhibit 10 deal as well after he went undrafted. He played all five of his seasons in the NCAA with the Tar Heels and was the ACC Player of the Year in 2024. Davis, who is a native of suburban New York City, is a speedy guard who averaged 17.2 points and 3.6 assists a game this past season. He is a decent outside shooter who made 36.7% of his 5.6 3-point attempts a game for his career, but his strong suit is attacking the rim and finishing. He's also an outstanding free throw shooter who made 86.1% of his foul shots in his five years with the Tar Heels.

Former Wisconsin basketball center signs with NBA team
Former Wisconsin center Steven Crowl signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Utah Jazz after the conclusion of the NBA draft on Thursday, according to KSTP's Darren Wolfson. The contract is a one-year, non-guaranteed minimum salary. It's commonly used to sign undrafted players for the NBA Summer League (July 10 to 20) and preseason. That player can then earn a spot on the team's G League affiliate. With strong play, the contract could be converted to a two-way deal with the NBA team itself. Crowl gets his NBA shot after a busy predraft process. Despite not being invited to the NBA combine or G League Elite Camp, the now-former Badger reportedly worked out for the Golden State Warriors, New Orleans Pelicans, Charlotte Hornets and Denver Nuggets in the weeks preceding the draft. The center is making the jump to the professional ranks after a terrific five-year career with the Badgers. He started 141 of his 153 career appearances in five seasons from 2020-25, averaging 9.7 points, 5.6 rebounds and two assists per game while shooting 52.5% from the field, 36.3% from 3 and 82% from the charity stripe. Arguably, his best season came as a senior in 2024-25. In 37 starts, Crowl averaged 9.9 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists while shooting 54% from the field, a whopping 41% from 3 and 82% from the free-throw line. Notably, Crowl will join John Tonje on the Jazz summer league team. Utah selected Tonje in the second round of Thursday's NBA draft. Both Wisconsin products will look to turn heads during the upcoming summer league circuit. While the two joined the Jazz under different circumstances, both still need strong play to earn a spot on the team's roster. Most likely, that would be the NBA roster for Tonje and the G League roster for Crowl.
