Marcus Smart and the Washington Wizards have agreed to a contract buyout, and Smart intends to join the Los Angeles Lakers once he clears waivers. Story with @davidaldridgedc and @DanWoikeSports: nytimes.com/athletic/65040…

Just a bit of perspective here. FWIW, I've never covered a summer-league finale in which a team played most, or all, of its returning players or top rookies. That's 15 or 16 summer leagues. I understand why Wizards fans want to see certain players play; I hear you, and I would…

Derik Queen underwent surgery to address a torn scapholunate ligament in his left wrist, per the Pelicans. He will be re-evaluated in approximately 12 weeks. Really tough news for the rookie with the first preseason game coming in 77 days.

Bub Carrington, Kyshawn George and Alex Sarr, as expected, will not play in the Wizards' summer-league finale, J.J. Outlaw said.

It’s a final here, with the Wizards falling to the Jazz 86-76. AJ Johnson finished with 25 points, five rebounds and three assists.

The Wizards' fourth NBA Summer League game is about 11 minutes away:

Tre Johnson and Bub Carrington, who are not playing tonight, have been sitting between the Wizards' coaches during the game. At this last timeout with 2:39 remaining in the third quarter, Johnson and Carrington joined the coaches in their on-court huddle before the coaches…

At halftime, the Jazz lead the Wizards 42-38. Washington's AJ Johnson has a game-high 12 points.

The NBA needs to rethink its personal-foul thresholds (in terms of fouling out) for the NBA Summer League. The way these exhibition games are played does not approximate the basketball these players will see during the NBA regular season or G League regular season.

Pelicans rookie Derik Queen is out for tonight's game vs OKC with a thumb injury, per a league source. He has a wrap around his left wrist, hand and thumb area. He'll be examined later to determine the extent of the injury.

The NBA is taking a "significant" step toward evaluating expansion, commissioner Adam Silver says. Story in @TheAthleticNBA: nytimes.com/athletic/64968…

Robbins very impressive so far. He's made both of his 3-point tries and just had a nice verticality play to deny a Sixers drive to the hoop.

Bub Carrington, Kyshawn George and Alex Sarr will not play in tonight's Wizards summer-league game. In addition, Tre Johnson (right hamstring tightness) and Will Riley (left thumb soreness) will not play tonight. Johnson and Riley are considered day-to-day.

The Magic's Jase Richardson, Noah Penda and Tristan da Silva will not play in this afternoon's game against the Thunder, a Magic official said. Keep in mind that today's game is the first of a back-to-back.
