Oh No He Didn't: Brian Windhorst on why Darryn Peterson wanted to foul a lot: "In summer league you get 10 fouls...as soon as Darryn Peterson found that out he said I'm gonna try to get 9 because he wants the players to learn he's going to play very physical. I was told he wants to foul because he wants to be physical, he wants to push the limits...he is not messing around, he is very serious about this"

Portage, Wellington, Crosslink Capital, 53 Stations, Titanium Ventures, Spice and Florida Funders also took part. Flex says the money brings its total equity raised to $180m, alongside $300m of debt. Headcount stands at 110 and the company expects to be past 200 by the end of the year.
Six months ago, Flex raised $60m and called it a Series B. On Tuesday it said it had raised another $70m, and rather than move down the alphabet, it settled on a Series B1. The round was led by Halo, the investment firm set up last year by Qualtrics founder Ryan Smith, who owns the NBA’s Utah Jazz and the NHL’s Utah Mammoth, together with his longtime backer Ryan Sweeney, a general partner at Accel.
Utah Jazz guard Trey Alexander was taken from the court on a stretcher Monday night after appearing to injure his side on a drive to the basket in an NBA summer league game against the Chicago Bulls. Alexander, who signed a two-way deal with Utah last week, made contact with the Bulls' Caleb Wilson while driving toward the basket and, after tossing the ball toward the hoop, went behind the basket clutching his side or abdomen. He then dropped to the ground, seemingly in great pain. The 23-year-old Alexander was taken from the Thomas & Mack Center court on a stretcher. The incident occurred with just over two minutes left in the fourth quarter.
Atlanta, sources say, has also shown some fresh interest in Watson, which would likewise require a sign-and-trade to make it happen. That said, whether it's the Hawks or the Clippers or any other suitor, sources maintain that the Nuggets are seeking compensation on par with what Utah received from the Lakers in their recent sign-and-trade swap that made Walker Kessler a Laker.

Dybantsa led all players with 27 points and seven rebounds in 26 minutes to power Washington to a 92-88 win. Peterson finished with 24 points. "Every time I play him, it's a great setting," Dybantsa told ESPN afterward. "He got the best of me three times -- two in high school, one in college. I just wanted to come out on top, get a win first and foremost."
Brad Rowland: After Antonio Lang was the head coach in Utah, the Hawks are turning HC duties over to Sanjay Lumpkin in Vegas. First time as a Summer League HC for Lumpkin.
Peterson silenced any doubts about his zeal for joining the Jazz immediately after being selected. He stressed in several interviews that night that he felt "super comfortable" during his meeting with Hardy and the Utah contingent at the scouting combine in Chicago. Peterson expressed appreciation that Jazz CEO Danny Ainge, president of basketball operations Austin Ainge, general manager Justin Zanik and vice president of player development Avery Bradley traveled to Peterson's hometown to meet with him days before the draft. Over the course of 17 days and two Salt Lake City Summer League games, the Jazz are confident their rebuild is coming to an end. With Peterson's potential and Keyonte George coming off a breakout campaign, Utah's backcourt has the chance to be special, especially alongside 2025 No. 5 pick Ace Bailey and midseason addition Jaren Jackson Jr. "What excites me the most is being able to be a part of the young core," Peterson said. "It's just a great basketball organization. I think everyone would agree with me, and we've kind of talked about it: It's time to win. So, to be a part of that is like a dream come true for me."
