Heading into his sophomore season, Dalton Knecht was a player to keep an eye on for the Los Angeles Lakers during Summer League as teams expect second-year players to show considerable development.

This social media dream matchup is the most anticipated game of the 2025 NBA Summer League – the 17,923-seat Thomas & Mack Center is already sold out. According to TickPick, the current “get-in” price for a Thursday Summer League ticket is $83, which jumps to $643 for the lower bowl in the Thomas & Mack, and courtside tickets are going for $2,519.

Alabama’s Jaden Shackelford has been a high-scoring guard in the G-League since departing Tuscaloosa in 2022. He averaged 17.5 points for the Valley Suns in 34 games, and made 4 of 11 3-pointers in two games during the California Classic.

Walter Clayton Jr. starred in Utah's third win at the Salt Lake Summer League. The national champion at Florida led the Jazz with 20 points to take down Nikola Topic and the Thunder. Kyle Filipowski produced an 18-point, 16-rebound double-double to complement Clayton's scoring outburst. Ajay Mitchell led the Thunder with 19 points.
