Lakers first-round pick Cameron Carr through two summer league games: – vs. GSW: 19 points on 7-15 shooting, 5-11 on 3s Via @khobi_price on X

What happened: Cameron Carr followed a 19-point summer league debut with 26 points and eight rebounds in the Lakers’ 93-91 win Sunday. Chris Manon praised the first-round pick’s scoring ability after his second straight team-leading performance.

Why it matters: The early production gives the Lakers an encouraging first look at their recently signed first-round pick. His perimeter shooting strengthens his case for a role during the upcoming 2026-27 season.

By the numbers: Carr has scored 45 points on 14-of-31 shooting through two games, including 9-of-20 from three-point range. That equals 22.5 points per game with shooting marks of 45.2% overall and 45.0% from deep.

What to watch: Carr’s efficiency and defensive consistency will be the next measures as the Lakers continue their summer schedule.
