What happened: The Los Angeles Lakers have named Australian guard Will 'Davo' Hickey to their squad for the 2026 NBA Summer League. The team announced the addition as it sets its offseason roster for the summer slate.

Why it matters: Summer League is the primary proving ground for fringe and developmental players chasing a roster or two-way spot, and a spot on the Lakers' summer squad gives Hickey a direct audition in front of the franchise's front office. It also extends the Lakers' recent pipeline of scouting international guards as they reshape their depth heading into 2026-27.

What to watch: Watch for the Lakers' full Summer League roster and schedule, and how much backcourt run Hickey earns once games tip off.
