Malik

Newman

Newman is likely going to step in to provide depth at point guard with Darius Garland in protocols. It’s unlikely he provides any value for fantasy teams,

Similar to other second-year players, Jones is using summer league to gain some experience and prove that he belongs as he is matching up against many players who do not have NBA experience. Jones certainly looked more confident and assertive on Tuesday evening. San Antonio also got 20 points from Jaylen Morris who went 8-of-11 from the floor (3-of-4 3-pointers) with five rebounds one assist and one steal. Former Cavaliers guard Malik Newman scored 19 points on 8-of-15 shooting (2-of-5 3-pointers) with six rebounds, four assists, and one steal.

Both these guys will be available for Cleveland’s final two games heading into the All-Star break, but there are no guarantees either of them will see meaningful minutes in the rotation.

Both players had training camp deals, but the Heat will waive them in order to bring in Charles Cooke and guard DeAndre Liggins. Newman and Lee should end up with the Heat’s G-League team.

He was waived by the Lakers just a few weeks after he signed a two-way contract. The terms of the deal haven’t been disclosed yet, but the Heat already have both their two-way contracts used up so it’s likely a training camp deal.

He was just signed to a two-way contract on Sunday, so we’ll hopefully get to see him take the court during summer league. If not, expect Newman to start out with the South Bay Lakers in the G-League.

Newman had a foot issue earlier this week and the Lakers just signed the 6'9" Bonga yesterday. Bonga is one of the longest point guards in the draft class, so a lot of eyes should be on him today. We’ll see if Newman has a restriction after missing time.

Newman put in averages of 14.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.1 steals per game in 31.6 minutes with Kansas last season, and earned the 2018 Big 12 Newcomer of the Year honors after scoring a team-high 21.6 points during the NCAA Tournament. He’ll spend most of his 2018-19 campaign in the G-League.

He didn’t get much of a chance after the Lakers signed him to a two-way deal on July 1. Newman scored 14.2 points per game at Kansas last year.
