It has not been a great start to Williams’ career, even if it is just Summer League. His only two points in this game came at the free throw line late in the fourth quarter, and he didn’t contribute much in other areas. Williams is now up to 15 total points in three Summer League games, which isn’t what they were hoping for out of him. Perhaps he will be able to figure things out in Las Vegas, but the early struggles are at least mildly concerning.

With Jalen Suggs (back) sidelined, Anthony will get his first start of the season after dishing out 11 assists off the bench in their last game. Anthony Black (back) will be available to play and should fill out the backup point guard minutes.

Gillespie should be available after missing nearly two months with an ankle fracture. However, he wasn’t part of the team’s rotation prior to his injury, and that shouldn’t change.

As expected, both of the Lakers’ superstars will once again be available to play in this game. They’ll continue to pour in elite numbers in this game as they look to win a third straight game.

Towns injured his right leg during the fourth quarter of their loss on Saturday, and now there is a chance that he misses their matchup with the 76ers because of a knee issue in the same leg. Precious Achiuwa would likely move into the starting lineup if Towns is sidelined, with Jericho Sims filling the backup center minutes.

Simmons has missed their last two games, but there is a chance that he is back for this one. Both Simmons and D’Angelo Russell (shin) are questionable and are the only two primary ball handlers that could suit up for the Nets in this game. If they’re both out, the responsibility will fall to Keon Johnson.
