What happened: John Tonje logged 37 points over two summer league games in Las Vegas. The performance follows a July 11 contest against Toronto where he was listed in the starting five alongside Jones, Gonzalez, Mitchell, and Williams.

Why it matters: Offseason summer league evaluations in Las Vegas serve as a primary proving ground for players competing for two-way contracts and training camp invitations ahead of the 2026-27 NBA season. High-efficiency perimeter shooting over a multi-game sample provides tangible leverage when organizations finalize their preseason 15-man rosters and developmental slots.

By the numbers: Through two games in Las Vegas, Tonje is averaging 18.5 points per contest while shooting 50.0 percent from the field (12-of-24). His perimeter production accounts for 24 of those points on 61.5 percent shooting from beyond the arc (8-of-13).

What to watch: The Las Vegas summer league schedule continues with an upcoming matchup against Atlanta at 6:00 p.m. ET, broadcast on Prime Video. Further evaluations will determine whether Tonje secures an invitation to fall training camp for the 2026-27 season.
