What happened: Amen Thompson drove and dished to Clint Capela for a dunk plus a foul in preseason play. The finish created an additional free-throw opportunity.

Why it matters: Thompson tallied 14 points and seven boards in China Games earlier in the preseason slate. Continued rim pressure gives staff another timing look with Capela entering the 2026-27 season.

What to watch: Preseason play continues with further rotation looks ahead of the 2026-27 tip.
