NBA Communications: The 2026 NBA All-Summer League Second Team: Cedric Coward, @memgrizz Egor Dёmin, @BrooklynNets Khaman Maluach, @Suns Liam McNeeley, @hornets Zyon Pullin, @Timberwolves

Nathan Bubes walked into the makeshift locker room at halftime of the Minnesota Timberwolves’ Las Vegas Summer League opener against New Orleans with a message. “I told them we need to take a deep breath,” Bubes said. “And as I said that, I was like, ‘So do I.'” Summer league is a chance for players with a lower profile to get noticed and try to earn a spot on a roster, either as a full-time or two-way player. It also offers that opportunity to young coaches, who are typically entrusted with running games and practices as they try to work their way up the ladder. This is the chance Bubes has been dreaming about since he entered the NBA as a barely paid intern with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2018. Long encouraged by those around him to go into the front-office side of basketball operations, Bubes has been determined to make his way in coaching. Now, as the leader of the Wolves’ summer team, he is charged with furthering the development of Joan Beringer and Rocco Zikarsky, getting second-round draft pick Isaiah Evans up to speed and helping to evaluate other players, including promising point guard Zyon Pullin, two-way forward Enrique Freeman and sharpshooter Nate Santos.
