LAS VEGAS — A balanced effort on both ends of the floor and sharp offensive performances from Jordan Walsh and Charles Bassey powered the Boston Celtics to a 92-78 win over the Memphis Grizzlies in an NBA 2K26 Summer League battle at Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas on Friday afternoon.

Here are three takeaways from the loss. Rookies Cedric Coward, Jahmai Mashack and Javon Small all missed the game against the Celtics. Coward hasn't been with the Grizzlies in Salt Lake City or Las Vegas while he continues to get back to full strength recovering from a shoulder injury.

GG Jackson II, who was the #45 Pick in 2023 Draft, Jaylen Wells, who was the #39 Pick in 2024 Draft, and Cam Spencer, whose draft rights were traded from Detroit on 07/06/24 all started in 2 of the 3 games for Memphis in Salt Lake City and all 3 played very well in those games.
