Many European players are showcasing their talent in the NBA Las Vegas Summer League, and a few Frenchmen stood out during last night’s action.

Theo Maledon shined in Orlando Magic‘s 102-100 OT loss to the Brooklyn Nets, being the top scorer of the defeated side with 20 points, adding six assists and four rebounds.

Moussa Diabate was on the verge of a double-double in the LA Clippers‘ 105-88 win over the Utah Jazz, scoring 11 points with nine rebounds.

The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 93-89. Armel Traore scored 10 points and grabbed six rebounds, making good use of his 13 minutes on the floor.

Last but not least, the highest-selected Frenchman of all mentioned, the No. 2 pick from the 2024 Draft, Alex Sarr, had another bad shooting night.

He scored just two points on 1-6 shooting from the field, right after a game in which he shot 0-15. However, he still influenced the game with 11 rebounds and four assists as the Washington Wizards defeated the Sacramento Kings 73-69.

Among the best on the winning side was Swiss-Canadian swingman Kyshawn George with 11 points.
