Who will be playing for the Nets in the 2025 NBA LV Summer League?
Summer League is an important time of the NBA calendar for NBA teams as they get to see how some of their younger players perform against NBA competition prior to training camp and the preseason. The Nets will be taking this time of the year more important than most teams given how many rookies they drafted from the 2025 NBA Draft that was held last week.
From Egor Demin to Danny Wolf, Brooklyn and its fans will be able to see some of the youngest players on the team get on the floor and show what they have at this point.

The double standard letting Shaq off easy for vulgar tirade
The insanely contradictory pursuit of social equality through double-standard inequality continued last week, with a vulgar, racist, misogynistic and semi-literate spew by Shaquille O'Neal, who nonetheless remains in demand to endorse any product — key chains for the homeless — as long as the checks clear. O'Neal's renewed target was, for some unimportant reason, Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert, a black French national. In his latest 'The Big Podcast with Shaq,' warm and fuzzy funster O'Neal, said this: 'I f—ing hate Rudy Gobert. That motherf—er making $250 million. He don't deserve it, dawg. F–-k that. Advertisement 4 Rudy Gobert dunking during an NBA game. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect 'As the president of The Big Man Alliance, you making big money, play like a f––ing big man. That's it. Throw some elbows, knock some people out, don't be letting little white dudes from Denver dunk on you and talk s-–t to you.'

Luka Doncic agrees to a three-year $165 million contract extension through 2028 with the LA Lakers
Luka Doncic has agreed to a three-year, $165 million maximum contract extension with the Los Angeles Lakers, bypassing a chance at free agency next summer to build a long-term future with his new team. The deal keeps Doncic with Los Angeles through 2028. The Slovenian superstar had a player option for the 2026-27 season under his previous contract. A person with knowledge of the deal confirmed the terms to The Associated Press on Saturday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the Lakers don't publicly announce the details of contracts. "Excited to keep working to bring championships to LA and make Laker Nation proud," Doncic wrote on social media. "Grateful to the Lakers, my teammates and all the fans who've shown so much love since day one. This is just the beginning." The Lakers acquired Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks last February in a seismic trade for Anthony Davis. The five-time All-NBA selection and a five-time All-Star averaged 28.2 points, 8.2 assists and 7.7 rebounds per game last season while teaming up with LeBron James for 50 victories and the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference playoffs. Los Angeles lost to Minnesota in the first round, but Doncic enjoyed his first months in Hollywood enough to commit to the Lakers. He will return this fall alongside James, who will begin his unprecedented 23rd NBA season. Doncic's growing comfort with the Lakers was already obvious in his offseason activity. He played a significant role in Los Angeles' successful bids to sign Deandre Ayton and Marcus Smart, persuading the two veterans to team up for the upcoming season. Doncic's extensive regimen of offseason conditioning work has also been well-documented after the Mavericks' questions about his physical commitment to the sport reportedly played a role in his shocking departure from Dallas.
