Washington Wizards forward Alexandre Sarr had a nightmare in Tuesday's Summer League clash against Portland, finishing an 82-80 loss scoreless on 15 shots. Seven of the misses came from three-point range, and Sarr also came up empty-handed at the free-throw line with two attempts. Per ESPN Stats & Information research, it's the most field goal attempts by a player without a make in a summer league game since at least 2017. If this had been a regular-season contest, Sarr would have been tied for the second most in NBA history. The No. 2 pick of this year's draft has been battling shooting issues throughout the Summer League, going only 19.5 percent from the field. The young Frenchman clearly needs more time to adjust to his new surroundings.

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Karlo Matkovic enjoyed a great outing against San Antonio in the Summer League on Tuesday, recording a game-high 25 points on 11-for-13 shooting. The Croatian big man, who finished 2-for-3 from downtown, scored at will and did his part defensively as well by blocking three shots and snagging a steal. His impressive 25-minute shift also included five rebounds and one assist. Matkovic signed a three-year deal with the Pelicans a couple of days ago and could be in contention for a significant role in the frontcourt rotation next season after Jonas Valanciunas was allowed to walk in free agency. The former second-round pick has averaged 14.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks in 22.9 minutes in the Summer League this year.

Brooklyn Nets forward Jalen Wilson led the offense as the team defeated the New York Knicks 92-85 in the Summer League on Tuesday. Trailing 62-57 ahead of the fourth quarter, the Nets produced a nice comeback with Wilson playing a prominent role. 15 of his game-high 27 points came in the final frame. The 23-year-old capped off his line with three rebounds, an assist, and a steal. Wilson is getting a lot of burn in the Summer League and has now hit the 20-point plateau twice in three contests. He's posted 21.3 points per game, with 48.3 percent shooting from deep.

Detroit Pistons guard Marcus Sasser played a big role in Tuesday's 85-77 victory over Chicago in the Las Vegas Summer League, scoring 17 points on 5-for-13 shooting and registering five steals. The rest of the Pistons combined for only four steals, while Sasser tied Ronald Holland II for the second most points on the team behind Jayce Johnson's 19-point effort. Sasser went 3-for-5 with the three-ball and dished out three assists. The former Houston Cougar struggled offensively in the first couple of Summer League games but has been a menace on the defensive end, with nine steals racked up in three games. He's looking to carve out a role for the upcoming season on a new-look Pistons backcourt, which now includes Malik Beasley and Tim Hardaway Jr.

Indiana Pacers power forward Jarace Walker led all scorers with 19 points in Tuesday's 98-94 win over Phoenix, shooting 5-for-7 from the field, including 4-for-5 from three-point range. He also notched four rebounds, five assists, one steal, and one block during a good all-around outing. Walker has now hit nine of his 16 attempts from deep across his last two Summer League appearances. He's posted good numbers in all three games in Las Vegas, averaging 19.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 4.3 assists. The Pacers didn't use him much during his rookie campaign, but that could change if Walker continues to impress in the Summer League and preseason.
