Rockets vs. Hawks, July 14: NBA summer league lineups, rosters, broadcast info
The Houston Rockets (0-2) will resume their schedule at the NBA's 2025 summer league when they face off against the Atlanta Hawks (2-0) on Monday afternoon.
Both teams will be playing their third game at the Thomas & Mack Center and Pavilion in Las Vegas, and it's part two of a back-to-back for each squad.
The Rockets are coming off a loss to the Pistons (2-0) on Sunday, during which second-year guard Reed Sheppard struggled with Detroit's physical, pressing defense. The 21-year-old Kentucky product was far more efficient with 28 points, six 3-pointers) and superior defensive metrics (four steals, three blocks) in Friday's close loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.
Hawks forward Asa Newell — a rookie who was recently drafted in the 2025 first round — had 18 points and 11 rebounds on 7-of-9 shooting (77.8%) and 4-of-5 from 3-point range (80.0%) during Sunday's victory over Phoenix.

Projected Starting Lineups

Houston Rockets (0-2)

Injury/Status Reports
The NBA does not require official injury reports to be issued before summer league games. While teams will often disclose before tipoff if certain players are unavailable, neither the Rockets nor Hawks had done so for Monday's game at the time of publication.
Because it's the second day of a back-to-back for both teams, it's certainly plausible that there could be maintenance absences or minutes limitations.

Austin Reaves' overall rating for NBA 2K26 has been revealed
There is no doubt that Austin Reaves is a rising stud in the NBA. The Los Angeles Lakers guard has gone from a nice complementary player to a borderline All-Star-caliber player over the last couple of years, and some seem to think he still has one or two higher gears he can shift his game to. Last season, he averaged 20.2 points and 5.8 assists a game while shooting 46% from the field and 37.7% from 3-point range. In March and April, with Luka Doncic taking some pressure off of him, he elevated his production to 23.3 points per game on 49% overall shooting and 41.1% from downtown during the final 20 contests of the regular season. The player ratings for NBA 2K26 are starting to be unveiled, and Reaves' overall rating of 85 ranked 49th. While Reaves played below his standards during the Lakers' five-game loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round of the playoffs, many aren't concerned that it could be a sign of things to come. He has clearly been on an upward trajectory ever since entering the NBA as an undrafted player in 2021, and there aren't any signs that his production last season was any type of fluke. He can opt out of his contract next summer and become a free agent, and it is believed he will seek a new contract that would pay him at least $30 million a year. Nonetheless, there seems to be a quiet confidence that he will remain with the Purple and Gold, especially since it has been reported that both sides are motivated to work out a deal.
