The 2025 NBA Summer League showcased standout performances, but Maxwell Lewis emerged from the shadows to make a compelling case for his future in the league. After a lackluster start, he exploded for crucial performances, including 23 points against the Philadelphia 76ers and 18 against the Orlando Magic. These efforts are pivotal for a player seeking a new contract following his release from the Brooklyn Nets.

Drafted by the Denver Nuggets, Lewis was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers, where he played a limited role. Now with the Dallas Mavericks, he aims to leverage his newfound confidence and experience. With training camps approaching, he may secure a two-way deal or an invite to showcase his growth, positioning himself for a potential return to the NBA.
