Two players who went undrafted in this summer's class have already earned two-way contracts after strong Summer League showings.

Chris Manon's 2-way game (17 points, 4 steals, 2 blocks) helps Golden State finish with a winning record (3-2) at NBA 2K26 Summer League.

Manon's absence comes shortly after fans spotted that Lara didn't take part in the main choreography in the band's 'Gameboy' video. In the newsletter, the group confirmed that Lara was also injured but still able to appear on set.
