In the latest NBA Summer League action, former Missouri basketball standout Tamar Bates and Caleb Grill showcased their talents for the Denver Nuggets and Chicago Bulls, respectively. Grill, who scored eight points, contributed significantly with three rebounds and three steals, but the Bulls fell to the Sacramento Kings, 109-92, marking their second consecutive loss.

Bates faced a challenging night from three-point range, failing to make any of his seven attempts. Nevertheless, he managed to score 13 points overall, aided by a strong performance inside the arc, as he went 6-of-9. His efforts, however, couldn't save the Nuggets from a 94-83 defeat against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Both players are still working to find their rhythm in the Summer League, with Bates averaging 10.5 points and Grill at 7.0 points per game.
