Knicks 88, Pacers 91: Good news and bad news as comeback effort falls short
MarJon Beauchamp was solid again for the Knicks
MarJon Beauchamp has been the star of the Summer League Knicks over the past two games. After scoring 25 in their previous win over the Brooklyn Nets, he followed that up with 28 points on 10-for-16 shooting and 6-for-11 from three-point range against the Pacers.
Beauchamp's shooting played a big part in the team staying within striking distance. He scored 19 of his points in the first half, which kept the Knicks in the game despite trailing by as much as 17 at one point.
Despite coming up short of the win, Beauchamp's performance on the court has raised some eyebrows as key members of the Knicks brass watch. He could be well on his way to landing a two-way contract with New York after his latest performances.
Tyler Kolek struggled from deep again
Tyler Kolek had made an impressive turnaround against the Nets on Tuesday, but his shooting woes returned against the Pacers on Thursday. He scored 14 points on 6-for-15 shooting from the floor and didn't convert on any of his six three-point attempts.
Perhaps more alarming are his turnover struggles once again. He dished five assists, but it came with an uncharacteristic five turnovers, and he now has 18 total turnovers across the four Summer League games so far.
Kolek started to get going late in the fourth quarter, hitting both the tying and go-ahead shots in the final minutes. One of which was a step-back jumper in the midrange to tie it at 85, and then followed that with an and-one layup to give New York their first lead of the second half.
Unfortunately, he was unable to close it off as he missed the tying three-point attempt in the final seconds, as Indiana held off New York's comeback.
Overview
Despite being 1-3 in Summer League, there are still lots of encouraging signs from the players who are fighting for roster spots. Their fifth and final Summer League game is to be determined.

New York Giants training camp: 6 takeaways from Day 4
The New York Giants battled poor air quality and overcast skies on Sunday morning on Day 4 of their 2025 training camp. Regardless, they held practice outdoors. Here are some takeaways from Sunday's workout. Wilson is opening up the offense The Giants have been one of the NFL's least potent offenses the past two seasons. They signed veteran quarterback Russell Wilson, the NFL's most proficient deep thrower last year, to get their passing game back on track. It looks as if he's doing that after just one week. Wilson is going up top to all of his receivers these days, and his "moonball" has never looked better. "He looks 25 again" Not to make this all about Wilson, but he appears to be just what this sagging Giants offense needs. Not only is he reenergizing the passing game, but the 36-year-old is making plays with his legs, too. Holland the pirate Wilson didn't have his way with the Giants' secondary all day. They got their shots in as well. On this play, slot corner Dru Phillips deflects a Wilson pass into the hands of safety Jevon Holland, who returns it for a touchdown. The Giants' goal on defense this year is to focus on ball-hawking. So far, so good. Skattebo is gaining in popularity Looking for a player to root for this season? Look no further than rookie running back Cam Skattebo. He is a high-energy player who is already making his mark with the Giants as both a rusher and a receiver. The fans in attendance at camp are already taking to him. Abdul Carter is a menace The first full padded practice isn't until Monday, so we won't know exactly how good rookie linebacker Abdul Carter is. So far, he's been blowing by everyone. If he continues to do that when the hitting starts, the Giants have a monster in their midst. Dart's best day yet The Giants' other first-round pick, quarterback Jaxson Dart, is also heating up. On Sunday, he looked comfortable and in charge, hitting on several deep throws. This article originally appeared on Giants Wire: Giants training camp: 6 takeaways from Day 4

Yankees acquire infielder Amed Rosario in trade with Nationals
James Schiano evaluates the potential of New York Yankees top prospect Spencer Jones, explaining why the 24-year-old outfielder's power production can't be ignored as he's compiled 29 home runs in the minors this season. NEW YORK — The scuffling New York Yankees added infield depth on Saturday night, acquiring Amed Rosario from the Washington Nationals for pitcher Clayton Beeter and a minor leaguer. 'When I heard where I was going, I kind of didn't believe it,' Rosario said through an interpreter in Minnesota, where the Nationals beat the Twins 9-3. 'I mean, at some point I kind of knew I was going to get traded, but I didn't know it was going to be today.' The move came hours after New York said star slugger Aaron Judge is headed to the injured list - and one day after the Yankees obtained third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies for two pitching prospects. McMahon made his Yankees debut on Saturday in a 9-4 loss to Philadelphia. New York is 21-28 following a 35-20 start and has slipped a season-high 6 1/2 games behind AL East-leading Toronto. 'He's actually been a guy who we've tried to kind of get the last couple of years to varying degrees,' Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. 'Provides some defensive versatility, speed and really gets lefties, so I think it kind of makes our bench and the balance of our roster a little more workable.' The versatile Rosario likely will be used mostly at third base, second base and outfield corners, and he also can play shortstop. He's a right-handed hitter with an .816 OPS against left-handed pitching this season, making him a good fit for a platoon with McMahon. McMahon and second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. both bat left-handed. And shortstop Anthony Volpe, a right-handed hitter, is batting just .217 in his third major league season. The 29-year-old Rosario was hitting .270 with five home runs, 18 RBIs and a .736 OPS in 46 games and 158 plate appearances with Washington overall. 'I helped a lot, I think,' Rosario said. 'Especially the young players. I kind of showed them the hard work I put every day, so I hope they take that from me.' Rosario was one of baseball's highest-rated prospects when he broke into the big leagues with the New York Mets in August 2017 at age 21. He is a .273 career hitter with 68 homers, 110 stolen bases and a .707 OPS in nine major league seasons. He also has played for Cleveland, the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Tampa Bay Rays and the Cincinnati Reds. 'I feel great, because whenever teams are in playoff contention they always acquire me towards the end,' Rosario said. 'I just feel really good about that.' Beeter, 26, was 0-1 with a 14.73 ERA in two appearances out of New York's bullpen this season. He was optioned by the Nationals to Triple-A Rochester. The right-hander has made 83 minor league starts, and he struck out 39 batters in 23 2/3 innings over 21 minor league outings this season - his first as a full-time reliever. He was ranked the No. 20 prospect in New York's system by The last-place Nationals also received 18-year-old outfield prospect Browm Martinez, who was hitting .404 (23 for 57) with three homers, 16 RBIs and 13 stolen bases in 18 games with the Dominican Summer League Yankees this year.
