    Rockets signed Quadir Copeland to a two-way contract.

    After two seasons at Syracuse, Copeland played for Will Wade at both McNeese and NC State before turning pro this spring. The 6-foot-6 guard’s lone season at NC State was his most productive, with Copeland averaging 13.9 points, 3.6 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.7 three-pointers in 28.9 minutes, shooting 49.4 percent from the field, 39.7 percent from three and 77.7 percent from the foul line. In addition to the playmaking ability, Copeland showed signs of being able to do more as a perimeter shooter at the next level. It was a surprise that he went undrafted, but this is a good landing spot for Copeland to develop. The Rockets have a lot of talent at the top, but he should help provide depth in the backcourt.

    Ace Bailey (back) will not play in Monday’s game against the Grizzlies.

    Bailey exited Saturday’s exhibition against the Hawks with back spasms and will not play in Monday’s game as a result. He’ll miss out on an opportunity to establish greater chemistry with lottery pick Darryn Peterson. Still, the hope is that Bailey will be available for Utah’s summer league games in Las Vegas.

    Nikola Jokić said on Monday that he plans to wait until next offseason to re-sign with the Nuggets.

    Jokić has repeatedly said that he plans to spend his entire NBA career in Denver, and nothing has changed in that regard. Following Serbia’s FIBA World Cup qualifying win over Bosnia and Herzegovina, the three-time NBA MVP said he plans to sign his extension next summer. The question now is whether he’ll opt into the final season of his current deal, 2027-28, and then ink an extension, or sign one after declining it. The final year of Jokić’s current deal would pay him just under $63 million if he were to opt in. Simply put, Nuggets fans and fantasy managers have little to worry about regarding the 6-foot-11 center’s NBA future.

    76ers to guarantee Adem Bona’s contract for the 2026-27 season.

    The 76ers had until Monday to waive Bona without incurring any financial penalty, but they have reportedly decided to hold on to the former second-round pick. As a result, he’s guaranteed to make a shade under $2.3 million next season. In his second NBA season, Bona averaged 4.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 17.4 minutes per game. He’ll combine with offseason signing Ariel Hukporti to provide depth behind Joel Embiid, which makes both players non-factors in fantasy basketball.

    ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that Koby Brea has signed a new, two-way deal to return to the Suns.

    The second-year man out of Kentucky appeared in 12 games for Phoenix as a rookie and erupted for a 20 points in the season finale against Oklahoma City. He’s unlikely to see enough run in Year 2 to warrant consideration in fantasy basketball leagues.

    ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Kings are waiving DeMar DeRozan.

    Unsurprisingly, the six-time All Star will enter free agency as Sacramento looks to the future with a rebuild centered around young talent like Darius Acuff Jr. and Nique Clifford. DeRozan is now free to sign with the team of his choosing. Teams to keep an eye on include the Warriors, Heat, Lakers and Raptors. He could also team up with LeBron James, depending on where James ultimately decides to sign.

    ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that Quinten Post has signed a three-year, $30 million offer sheet from the Grizzlies.

    Post is a restricted free agent, and the Warriors will have until 11:59 PM on Tuesday to match the offer. If Golden State doesn’t match, Post will join a crowded Grizzlies frontcourt featuring Zach Edey, Isaiah Stewart and Cameron Boozer.

    ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that Rui Hachimura has agreed to a two-year, $28 million deal with the Clippers.

    According to Charania, the Lakers didn’t cooperate on a potential sign-and-trade, so Hachimura took his talents across town to Inglewood. The Clippers have Derrick Jones Jr. and limited depth at PF, so Hachimura should be an immediate starter. In three full seasons with the Lakers, Hachimura averaged 12 points and 4.2 rebounds while knocking down 42.6% of his three-point attempts.

    Adou Thiero recorded 13 points (3-of-9 FGs, 4-of-7 FTs), three rebounds, two assists and three steals in Sunday’s win over the Heat.

    Limited to 25 NBA appearances as a rookie, Thiero may be able to earn a larger role within the Lakers’ rotation next season. LeBron James has informed the team that he won’t be back, and Rui Hachimura remains a free agent. The Lakers have a clear need for athleticism on the wing, and Thiero can certainly provide that. He didn’t have his best shooting game against the Spurs, but his ability to influence the action defensively was on display at times. While Walker Kessler will provide the rim protection, he can’t be the only player who provides cover for the Lakers’ subpar perimeter defenders. Thiero isn’t someone to target in redraft leagues, but he is worth tracking this summer for dynasty leagues.

    Sam Amick of The Athletic reports that while the Nuggets plan to match any offer sheet that Peyton Watson signs, they’re also open to potential sign-and-trades.

    Watson is a restricted free agent, and like a few other players in his position, he’s been made to wait thanks to a market lacking suitors with available cap space. Denver views him as a key player for the franchise’s future, but there is also a significant gap between what Watson wants, reportedly $25 million per year, and what the team is willing to pay. As a result, the Nuggets are reportedly open to a sign-and-trade as they look to avoid going into the second apron. At this point, only the Nets and Clippers have the cap space to provide Watson an offer sheet without needing to negotiate a trade.

    Yaxel Lendeborg recorded 11 points (4-of-11 FGs, 0-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, two assists, one steal, two blocks and three three-pointers in Sunday’s win over the Spurs.

    After making all six of his shot attempts in his summer debut on Friday, Lendeborg cooled off in Sunday’s 98-69 victory. However, the ability to do a little bit of everything was on display, showing why the Warriors selected him 11th overall in last month’s draft. Lendeborg grabbed eight rebounds and recorded three “stocks” while also shooting 3-of-5 from beyond the arc. His fantasy outlook for 2026-27 is in a bit of a holding pattern for now, as the Warriors are among the teams in the mix for free agent LeBron James. If Golden State strikes out on adding the 41-year-old, Lendeborg’s role will take on added importance during his rookie season.
