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.

HOU Forward-Center

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.

Arizona Sports 98.7’s John Gambadoro reports that Oso Ighodaro (oblique) is feeling better but remains day-to-day ahead of Friday’s game against the Nuggets.

Ighodaro injured his oblique during the Suns’ season-opening loss to the Trail Blazers and has missed the last two games. While his absence hasn’t changed the starting lineup, as Khaman Maluach has been the preferred center, it has led to Duop Reath getting rotation minutes off the bench.

Jaxson Hayes (shoulder) is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Spurs.

Due to a sore right shoulder, Hayes did not play in Monday’s loss to the Grizzlies. If he can play on Wednesday, Hayes could start, as Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) is out for 6-8 weeks. If Hayes can’t play, the Jazz would have to rely even more on Mo Bamba and Kyle Filipowski.

Nolan Traoré, Egor Dëmin, Michael Porter Jr., Julius Randle and Day’Ron Sharpe will start Tuesday’s game against the Celtics.

One game removed from recording 17 points and five assists, Traoré has been rewarded with his first start of the season. He replaces Keon Ellis, who will come off the bench. The change also means that Dëmin will spend more time off the ball, which could help him get going after a slow start to the season.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that Anthony Edwards (knee) will undergo arthroscopic surgery and will miss up to two months.

So much for Edwards being listed as questionable on the Timberwolves’ initial injury report for Wednesday’s game against the Warriors. He’ll reportedly need to undergo an arthroscopic procedure on his right knee and could miss up to two months. While the timeline isn’t guaranteed, fantasy managers can stash Edwards on the IL until he’s cleared to return. As alternatives, Ayo Dosunmu and Terrence Shannon Jr. should see more opportunities, and starters Jaden McDaniels and Jonathan Kuminga should too.

Jones hasn’t played this season, and his absence has factored into rookie Trevon Brazile getting consistent rotation minutes. While he isn’t a must-roster player in redraft leagues, Brazile has played well enough to merit remaining in the rotation once the Nuggets are whole.
