Toronto Raptors forward Collin Murray-Boyles is expected to take on more on-ball work at Las Vegas Summer League, according to Michael Grange of Sportsnet. Raptors assistant Ivo Simovic, who will coach Toronto's Summer League team, said the club needs Murray-Boyles to become less one-dimensional as it pushes him toward a bigger role. The No. 9 pick averaged 8.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.9 assists as a rookie before jumping to 14.4 points, 6.4 boards, 2.4 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.1 blocks in the playoffs. The defensive stats already carry fantasy appeal, but added ball-handling and shooting growth would raise his ceiling.

Former Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier wants to play in the NBA again while fighting sports gambling charges, according to the Associated Press. His path back remains complicated, as bail conditions currently limit his travel and bar contact with certain potential witnesses. Rozier remains a free agent after Miami released him in April, and he missed the 2025-26 season after being placed on leave. Even before his legal hurdles, the 32-year-old struggled to produce, averaging just 10.6 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.6 assists while shooting 39.1 percent from the field across 64 games in 2024-25. His fantasy profile remains entirely on hold until he signs with a team and his court restrictions are eased enough for him to take the floor.

Brooklyn Nets guard Egor Demin has made his improved offensive aggression a key Summer League storyline, according to Brian Lewis of the New York Post. Demin reportedly added 13 to 15 pounds in the offseason and has looked more comfortable using his size to get into the paint. The 20-year-old averaged 10.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 3.3 assists as a rookie last season, but his fantasy ceiling depends on turning that playmaking base into more efficient scoring. If the added strength leads to more rim pressure and free-throw chances, Demin could take a useful second-year step.

Free-agent center Jonas Valanciunas is among the centers on the New York Knicks' radar, according to SNY's Ian Begley. The Knicks had interest in Valanciunas during the 2024 offseason, and Begley noted that New York would have solid center depth if he chooses them in free agency. The veteran big man averaged 8.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in 65 games last season while playing a limited role in Denver. New York already added Andre Drummond behind Karl-Anthony Towns, so Valanciunas would likely need a clear backup role to regain fantasy relevance. His best path remains rebounds, efficient scoring, and short-minute double-double production.
