What happened: New Orleans continues its Las Vegas exhibition schedule following a Saturday outing against Charlotte. The Cleveland Cavaliers arrive in Nevada continuing their July development slate.

Why it matters: Exhibition competition gives front offices critical evaluation minutes to assess recent draft selections and roster prospects ahead of fall training camp. For Cleveland, the mid-July schedule provides further live reps for rookie guard Meleek Thomas following his scoring contributions in tournament play.

What to watch: Both organizations will evaluate tournament performances before finalizing training camp invitations and two-way contract allocations for the 2026-27 season.
