Tristen Newton contributes 20 points, six rebounds

Tristen Newton

HOU Guard #00

Player Stats

Tristen Newton accounted for 20 points (7-of-13 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, one assist, two steals, one block and two three-pointers in Thursday’s win over the Nets.

Having appeared in nine total NBA games in his first two professional seasons, Newton is looking to use summer league as a springboard into a greater opportunity in 2025-26. The former UConn standout put up 20 points on good shooting numbers on Thursday, and the victory may be enough to push Houston into Saturday’s semifinals. Newton is unlikely to be in a position where he can offer reliable fantasy value once the season begins. Still, a good finish to the summer could ensure him a longer look from Rockets decision-makers.

Rockets signed Rafael Castro to a two-way contract.

Not selected in June’s draft after two quality seasons at George Washington, Castro was initially reported to have signed with the Bucks on a two-way deal. However, the deal was never finalized, opening the door for Castro to sign with the Rockets. To make room for Castro, the Rockets have waived two-way guard Tristen Newton.
Tristen Newton

HOU Guard #00

Tristen Newton finished Saturday’s loss to the Raptors with 18 points (4-of-13 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, two steals and three three-pointers.

A second-round pick in the 2024 draft, Newton has appeared in nine NBA games during his first two seasons, spending most of his time in the G League. The Rockets’ guard is coming off an excellent season with the franchise’s G League affiliate, and the hope is that Newton plays well enough in Las Vegas to earn a longer look in 2026-27. Newton didn’t have the best game against the Raptors, struggling from the field and not recording an assist. However, his production improved over his output in Friday’s win over the Nuggets, and the ball was in rookie Bruce Thornton’s hands quite often. Given Houston’s depth at point guard, Newton faces long odds of being fantasy-relevant next season.
Tristen Newton

IND Point Guard

The Pacers selected Tristen Newton with the No. 49 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.

Newton spent the first three seasons of his collegiate career at East Carolina before transferring to UConn for the last two. Newton led the Huskies to back-to-back national championships as the team’s starting point guard, improving his production from 2022-23 to 2023-24. In his final season with UConn, Newton averaged 15.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.3 blocks and 1.8 triples. He led his team in scoring, assists, and made free throws (4.2 / 5.2) and finished behind only Donovan Clingan for the team lead in rebounds. Newton was named Most Outstanding Player of the 2023-24 NCAA Tournament and earned the Bob Cousy Award as the nation’s best PG. His 41.5 / 32.1 / 80.8 shooting splits will likely move him down draft boards, but he brings championship experience and a winning attitude to the NBA. At first glance, Indiana isn’t the best landing spot for Newton due to the team’s loaded backcourt. However, holding onto Andrew Nembhard could get expensive if he decided to test free agency in the summer of 2025.

Johnny Furphy (knee) is “in a good place” as he continues to recover from the torn ACL that he suffered in February.

At the time of his injury, Furphy was emerging as one of the few bright spots in the Pacers’ 2025-26 campaign, having started 18 straight games and producing at a higher level. Unfortunately, the injury ended the former second-round pick’s season. Furphy, who has added strength according to Pacers general manager Chad Buchanan, said recently that he’s in a good place with his rehab, but he still hasn’t been cleared to resume 5-on-5 activities. When asked for a potential timeline for that clearance, the 6-foot-9 wing was unsure. With Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) available, Furphy is one of the players who would benefit from the point guard’s return once he’s allowed to play. However, only dynasty league managers should be considering Furphy in drafts this fall.

Brandon Miller (shoulder) continues to progress in his recovery from offseason left shoulder surgery.

Miller, who missed 13 games early last season after suffering a subluxation of his left shoulder, underwent surgery in May to address instability in the area. While he still has not been fully cleared to resume basketball activities, the 6-foot-7 wing is making strides in his recovery. “It’s going good, going good,” Miller told the Charlotte Observer. “I’m getting stronger. That’s all I can ask for. The stronger I get, the more mobile I am with the shoulder and that is the most important thing.” With the Hornets moving on from LaMelo Ball and Miles Bridges this summer, Miller’s role will expand next season, raising his fantasy ceiling.

Warriors signed Dalen Terry to an Exhibit 10 contract.

The 28th overall pick in the 2022 draft, Terry spent his first three-plus seasons in Chicago before being moved multiple times at the February trade deadline. Acquired by the Knicks, he would be moved again on the same day as part of the trade that sent Jose Alvarado to New York. Subsequently waived by the Pelicans, Terry agreed to a two-way deal with the 76ers before finishing the season on a standard deal. In 48 combined appearances for the Bulls and 76ers, Terry averaged 3.7 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 11.5 minutes per game. No longer eligible for a two-way contract, he’ll compete for one of the Warriors’ final standard contract slots in training camp.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Heat have signed Nick Richards to a one-year contract.

While specifics of the deal were not provided, Richards will likely earn the veteran’s minimum next season. Between Phoenix and Chicago, the former second-round pick appeared in 48 games last season, averaging 5.8 points and 5.1 rebounds in 14.6 minutes. While Richards gives the Heat more size in the frontcourt, he’s unlikely to be in a position to impact fantasy basketball in 2026-27.

Nuggets signed Bryce Hopkins to a two-way contract.

The 49th overall pick in the 2026 draft, Hopkins had a productive Summer League run in Las Vegas. The former St. John’s standout has been rewarded with a two-way deal, and there could be times during the season when he’s called upon to provide added depth on the wing. While worthy of a look in dynasty leagues, there’s no need to consider Hopkins in redraft formats during draft season.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that Bennedict Mathurin has signed a two-year, $16.6 million deal to join the Pelicans.

According to Shams, the Pels asked the Clippers to withdraw their qualifying offer on the restricted free agent so that they could get the deal done. Mathurin’s deal includes a player option that will give him the chance to hit the market as an unrestricted free agent next summer. He should play a significant role for New Orleans, though the competition for minutes will be fiercer than it was in LA.

NBA insider Jake Fischer reports that the Pelicans remain the one “aggressive suitor” for restricted free agent Bennedict Mathurin.

Like Detroit’s Jalen Duren, Mathurin’s status as a restricted free agent has made the task of landing a contract a challenging one. Few teams have the cap space to make the former lottery pick an attractive offer, and the Clippers also have to factor in the Kawhi Leonard trade, which the Raptors paused while the NBA investigates his contract. According to Fischer, the Pelicans remain interested in adding Mathurin via sign-and-trade. However, with more players becoming trade-eligible in September, that may have to wait. Another option for Mathurin is to accept the Clippers’ qualifying offer, which would make him an unrestricted free agent next summer.
