Cam Boozer Powers Grizzlies to Summer League Semifinal

Draft Record and Team Strategy

Memphis selected Cam Boozer with the No. 3 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. While other franchises have moved on from their top selections, the Grizzlies decided to build around their young talent. General manager Zach Kleiman and coach Tuomas Iisalo kept Boozer and fellow prospects in summer league play. The move signals Memphis’s commitment to a rebuild anchored by its 2026 class.

Summer League Impact

Boozer notched 24 points on 10‑for‑13 shooting, plus seven rebounds and three assists against Atlanta. His outburst followed two modest outings on July 13 and July 14, where he failed to score in the first half of a Warriors game. The scorching 21‑0 start set the tone for a blowout win and secured a spot in the semifinals. Summer league games serve as a critical audition for draft prospects, and Boozer’s bounce‑back performance highlighted his upside.

Game Details and Stats

The win came on July 16 at FedExForum, with Boozer also contributing a single three‑pointer and two free throws. He logged one steal, four turnovers and a single foul during the contest. Memphis will learn its next scheduled opponent after the remaining summer league fixtures conclude on July 16. The showcase also featured a press conference where Boozer, Karim Lopez and Richie Saunders unveiled their jerseys alongside team leadership.
