Adou Thiero leads Lakers to 96‑84 Summer League win over Thunder

Second‑year forward Adou Thiero posted a 20‑point, four‑rebound, four‑assist line with three steals, two blocks and no turnovers in the Los Angeles Lakers’ 96‑84 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder at the Las Vegas NBA Summer League. He capped the performance with a windmill dunk in the second quarter and a late lob dunk that helped seal an 86‑66 lead.

Thiero shot 8‑of‑14 from the field, missed all five three‑point attempts, and finished with a team‑best plus‑13 rating. His all‑around play underscored the Lakers’ search for a defensive wing, a priority highlighted by head coach Ty Abbott and discussed by the front office after recent roster moves. The performance arrives as Los Angeles evaluates young talent to fill the wing void left by recent departures in free agency.

Cameron Carr also contributed 18 points, and the win moves the Lakers to 3‑1 across their two summer events, providing early insight into rotation depth and the team’s developmental direction for the 2026‑27 season.
