Dallas Mavericks post European‑heavy win in 2026 Summer League

The Dallas Mavericks fielded an all‑European starting lineup in their 2026 NBA Summer League game in Las Vegas, defeating the Oklahoma City Thunder 97‑87. Spanish guard Sergio de Larrea orchestrated the offense, recording a franchise Summer League record 14 assists and nearly achieving a double‑double with nine rebounds. Greek guard John Poulakidas led scoring with 19 points, while Russian guard Vsevolod Ishchenko added 12 points, seven rebounds, three assists and two steals. British forward Tobi Lawal contributed 10 points and seven rebounds, and Spanish forward Jorge Diaz Graham added seven points.

The Thunder rested their Spanish big man Aday Mara and were missing other key players, while the Mavericks were without Morez Johnson Jr. and Ryan Nembhard. The victory moved Dallas to a 2‑2 record in the tournament, and they will finish the event against the New York Knicks.
