The Los Angeles Lakers have signed rookie guard Chris Mañon to a two-way contract after his impressive effort for Golden State's summer league teams.

There’s also DJ Steward, who has been playing his cards right for the Lakers this summer. Steward, who has been looking to land an NBA contract since 2021, is averaging 10 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game in Las Vegas Summer League.

The Los Angeles Lakers played one final summer league game in Las Vegas on Friday evening. It was a consolation game, as they went 1-3 in their first three contests and will not advance to the semifinals.

Despite a strong performance from Cole Swider and the bench, the Lakers couldn’t overcome the Denver Nuggets on Friday night.

Once again, all 30 NBA teams descended on the desert for the 2025 NBA Vegas Summer League. New draftees, undrafted free agents, second-year players and even those further off the NBA radar all try to make a name for themselves over the 10-day gathering.

League finale for the Lakers and Nuggets, Denver's Curtis Jones stuffs the stat sheet with 22 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists.
