Kyle Anderson

Heading to Golden State Anderson will head to Golden State after spending the previous two seasons in Minnesota. In 2023-24, the 30-year-old forward averaged 6.4 points, 4.2 assists and 3.5 rebounds in 22.6 minutes across 79 appearances, including 10 starts. After the departure of Klay Thompson, Anderson will likely compete for minutes in the Warriors' forward rotation with Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody.

Jalen Hood-Schifino

Won’t play in Summer League Hood-Schifino underwent a lumbar microdiscectomy surgery in March to repair a bulging disc in his back and appears to still be recovering. While the second-year guard isn't expected to play in the Summer League, it is unclear if he will be healthy to begin the 2024-25 regular season.

Jonathan Isaac

Staying in Orlando Isaac has spent the first five years of his career in Orlando and is now set to spend another five with the franchise. In 2023-24, the 26-year-old forward averaged 6.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 15.8 minutes across 58 appearances. While availability has always been an issue for Isaac, he is one of the NBA's best and most versatile defenders when on the floor.

Xavier Tillman

Intends to reunite with Boston Tillman stepped up in Kristaps Porzingis' (foot) absence throughout the 2023-24 NBA Playoffs, and he will return to the club as they aim to repeat their success form last year. The 25-year-old was acquired by the Celtics via trade Feb. 7. Tillman averaged 4.0 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 13.7 minutes in 20 regular-season appearances with Boston.

Luka Doncic

Trible-double in loss to Croatia Doncic is known for his ability to do it all on a nightly basis. The All-Star accumulated 21 triple-doubles in the 2023-24 regular-season, and he has become a walking triple-double with the Mavericks throughout his six-year career. Doncic was a top MVP candidate last season, during which he averaged 33.9 points, 9.8 assists, 9.2 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 70 regular-season appearances. However, he shot just 0-for-9 from deep against Croatia, an issue he also had in the NBA Finals against Boston when he shot just 24.4 percent from three in five games.

Dario Saric

Triple-double versus Slovenia Saric is currently an unrestricted free agent, and his play against Slovenia bodes well for his stock in free agency. The 30-year-old proved his worth as a passer and rebounder, as well as his ability to play either position down low for whatever club he goes to next. Saric averaged 8.0 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists across 17.2 minutes with the Warriors last season.

Vlatko Cancar

Struggles from deep in loss Cancar missed the entirety of the 2023-24 season after undergoing surgery in August to repair a torn ACL in his left knee. The Nuggets declined his team option ahead of the 2024-25 season, but they have not ruled out re-signing the 27-year-old. Moreover, his return to game action with Slovenia bodes well for his stock in free agency. Cancar appeared in 60 regular-season games in 2022-23, during which he averaged 5.0 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 14.8 minutes.

Sidy Cissoko

Ready for SL after minor surgery Cissoko dealt with a lingering knee issue for most of last season, so hopefully the surgery will have him feeling better ahead of 2024-25. The 2023 second-round pick out of France made 12 NBA appearances as a rookie, averaging 3.9 points and 1.9 rebounds in 11.8 minutes per game.

Seth Lundy

Out for Summer League Lundy dealt with a lingering ankle issue throughout the 2023-24 campaign, so hopefully the surgery will get him right for 2024-25. Williams relays that Lundy is expected to be back to full strength by training camp, but the 2023 second-round pick isn't guaranteed an NBA role after appearing in only nine games for the Hawks as a rookie.

Monte Morris

Intends to sign with Suns The Suns are in need of cheap backups behind their expensive core of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal, and Morris is known around the league as a fairly reliable option at the backup guard spot. The 29-year-old spent the end of last year in Minnesota after being acquired by the Timberwolves on Feb. 7 via trade, during which he averaged 5.1 points, 2.3 assists, 1.7 rebounds and 0.7 steals in 27 regular-season games.

Moritz Wagner

Returns to Magic on two-year deal The Magic declined Wagner's team option on Saturday, but the sides agreed on a new deal to bring him back for two more seasons. The 27-year-old averaged a career-high 10.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.5 steals across 17.7 minutes last year. Moreover, Wagner shot a career-high 60.1 percent from the field.

Kemba Walker

Retires from basketball Walker last played for the Mavericks in the 2022-23 season, during which he averaged 8.0 points, 2.1 assists and 1.8 rebounds across 16.0 minutes in nine regular-season games. The 34-year-old is most notably remembered for his eight-year tenure with the Hornets; he averaged 19.6 points, 5.4 assists and 3.8 rebounds while being named an All-Star three times with the Hornets, and once with the Celtics. Over the entirety of his 12-year career, Walker averaged 18.0 points, 4.9 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.1 steals while shooting 36.0 percent from deep.

Davis Bertans

Returns to action with Latvia Bertans missed the Hornets' finals regular-season game due to Achilles soreness, but his return to game action with Latvia bodes well for his return in 2024-25. The 31-year-old was a non-factor for the Thunder last season, and he was acquired via trade by the Hornets on Feb. 8. Bertans went on to play 28 games for the club, during which he averaged 8.8 points and 1.8 rebounds across 20.8 minutes per game.

Deandre Ayton

Productive showing against Finland Ayton missed the final game of the NBA regular-season due to a back injury, but he will almost certainly be back in time for the start of the 2024-25 season. The 25-year-old appeared in only 55 games the entirety of last season due to a litany of injuries. These included knee and elbow tendinitis, a hand sprain and the aforementioned back injury. However, his play for the Bahamas bodes well for his healthy return to training camp and beyond.

Jesse Edwards

Signs two-way with Timberwolves Edwards is a 7-footer with NBA size who could eventually make an impact on a professional roster. The 24-year-old averaged 15.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.7 blocks and 1.2 assists with West Virginia last season.

Bryson Warren

Will compete in Summer League Warren was a member of the Sioux Falls Skyforce last year, the Heat's G League affiliate. The 19-year-old will have a chance to compete for a two-way contract with the club after averaging 7.8 points, 1.9 assists and 1.5 rebounds with the Skyforce.

RayJ Dennis

Inks deal with Clippers Dennis will have the chance to compete for a two-way contract with the Clippers on their Summer League roster. The 23-year-old out of Baylor averaged 13.6 points, 6.7 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.4 steals across 34.3 minutes in 2023-24.

Jahmir Young

With Nuggets for Summer League Young will have the opportunity to impress teams on the Nuggets' Summer League roster. The 23-year-old was an effective scorer with Maryland last year, during which he averaged 20.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.3 steals.

Babacar Sane

Signs deal with Utah Sane spent last season with the G League Ignite, and now he'll have the chance to earn a final roster spot with the Jazz if he can impress during the Summer League and throughout training camp. In 23 regular-season appearances, Sane averaged 11.0 points, 5.9 rebounds and 0.5 three-pointers in 22.5 minutes.

Joel Soriano

With Hornets for Summer League Soriano will have the opportunity to make an NBA roster while showing off his skills during Summer League with the Hornets. The 24-year-old averaged 13.8 points, 9.5 rebounds and 1.7 blocks across 28.2 minutes with St. John's last season.

Boogie Ellis

To join Sacramento A standout out of USC, Ellis will join the Kings for training camp to compete for a final roster spot. During his final collegiate season, Ellis averaged 16.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.4 steals and 3.0 three-pointers.

Jacky Cui

Agrees to deal with Portland Cui is a graduate of the NBA Global Academy and will join the Trail Blazers for training camp where he will fight for a roster spot. Cui is a 6-foot-8 wing who most recently played for Guangzhou in the Chinese CBA.

Amari Bailey

Hornets not extending offer Bailey appeared in just 10 games for the Hornets last season, during which he averaged 2.3 points, 0.9 rebounds and 0.7 assists across 6.5 minutes. The 20-year-old will hope to land a contract elsewhere, and the Hornets now free up space to bring in a new two-way player.

Mario Hezonja

Signs extension with Real Madrid The No. 5 overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft will remain oversees for the foreseeable future despite some rumored interest around the NBA. In five total NBA seasons, Hezonja holds career averages of 6.9 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.5 three-pointers.

Kevin Knox

Suffers strained calf There aren't many details regarding the severity, but this is an unfortunate blow for Knox. The forward will remain a free agent and will have to look elsewhere for an opportunity.

James Wiseman

Joins Pacers on two-year deal The Pistons let Wiseman walk in free agency, and the former No. 2 overall pick will join the Pacers to backup Myles Turner. Wiseman played one full season with Detroit after being acquired from the Warriors in 2022-23, during which he averaged a career-low 7.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and 0.6 blocks across 17.3 minutes in 63 regular-season games. The 23-year-old will aim for a fresh start where he can revitalize his career on a team that hopes to contend.

Donovan Mitchell

Agrees to 3-year extension The extension includes a player option for the 2027-28 season. Mitchell's future with the Cavaliers has been a major storyline in the media for well over a year, so Cleveland will be relieved to secure Mitchell's signature as they move into a new era with coach Kenny Atkinson at the helm. During the regular season in 2023-24, Mitchell averaged 26.6 points, 6.1 assists, 5.1 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 3.3 three-pointers.
