What happened: Adou Thiero left the game after a hard landing following a blocked fast-break dunk attempt. His condition remains the key development after the sequence.

Why it matters: The incident could affect Thiero’s availability during the remainder of the summer schedule. Any missed time would reduce his opportunity to compete for a larger role ahead of the 2026-27 season.

By the numbers: Thiero’s fast-break attempt was stopped on the defender’s fourth block of the game.

What to watch: Watch for an update on Thiero’s condition and availability for the next game.
