Summer League Report: Larsson and Ware Lead Heat over Celtics

The Boston Celtics and Miami Heat faced off in Summer League action, with several players putting together notable performances. While the Celtics fell short, young wings and bigs on both sides gave reasons for optimism.

Celtics: Gonzalez, Walsh, Scheierman, and Bassey Stand Out

  • Hugo Gonzalez finished with 10 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists, though his efficiency (3‑12 FG, 1‑7 3PT) and 6 turnovers held him back. His effort on the boards and playmaking flashes remain encouraging.
  • Jordan Walsh was highly effective in just over 10 minutes, producing 13 points on 5‑of‑8 shooting, along with 3 rebounds and a steal. He played under control and found ways to contribute quickly.
  • Baylor Scheierman led the Celtics with 19 points, 9 assists, and 3 rebounds, creating offense but struggling with his shot at times (7‑19 FG, 4‑13 3PT).
  • Charles Bassey provided stability inside, recording 10 points, 9 rebounds, and a block on 4‑of‑7 shooting, playing his role effectively.

Heat: Larsson and Ware Take Control

  • Pelle Larsson scored 24 points on 7‑of‑14 shooting, adding 6 assists and 2 rebounds. He attacked the defense consistently, got to the free-throw line (9‑10 FT), and made good decisions on the perimeter.
  • Kel’el Ware delivered a dominant performance with 21 points, 15 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, and a block. He shot 53% from the field, knocked down all three of his three-point attempts, and controlled the glass throughout the game.


Scout’s Take

Hugo Gonzalez looked comfortable, finding ways to impact the game despite an inefficient shooting night. Jordan Walsh played with purpose and stayed aggressive in his limited minutes. Charles Bassey made the most of an extended opportunity, performing well as he competes for an NBA contract with Boston.

For Miami, Pelle Larsson continues to look ready to contribute at the NBA level right away, while Kel’el Ware is building on his momentum with a much-needed breakout Summer League run.

Michael Misa Could Fill Sharks’ Biggest Need Down the Middle The San Jose Sharks have been busy this offseason, adding veteran talent on the wings through trades and free agency — but one glaring hole remains at center. And they may already have the answer. Much of the offseason speculation in San Jose has centered on whether No. 2 overall pick Michael Misa will make the jump to the NHL this fall. Looking at the Sharks’ current roster, there’s certainly a spot waiting if he’s ready. Misa projects as a natural center, though his versatility allows him to shift to the wing if needed. With the Sharks’ deep stable of wingers, that likely won’t be necessary right away — especially with the center depth chart in need of a boost. Wings Stacked, Center Thin San Jose loaded up on the flanks this summer, trading for rugged right winger Ryan Reaves and signing Philipp Kurashev to join Tyler Toffoli and Adam Gaudette. On the left, the newly signed Jeff Skinner brings scoring punch alongside ...
