Meleek Thomas leads Cavaliers to 100-91 Summer League win over Bulls

The Cleveland Cavaliers closed their 2026 Summer League campaign in Las Vegas with a 100‑91 victory over the Chicago Bulls. Rookie guard Meleek Thomas, the No. 34 draft pick, scored 24 points and helped the Cavs post their third straight win, improving his three‑game total to 85 points – a Summer League record for a newcomer.

The Bulls entered the game with a 1‑3 record and saw rookie forward Caleb Wilson sit out the remainder of the league after a 21‑point outing against the Lakers, citing injury concerns. Both teams fielded projected line‑ups that featured other recent draftees, but Thomas' shooting efficiency and interior play were highlighted as the decisive factor in the win.

The performance bolsters the Cavaliers' long‑term planning, with management viewing Thomas as a promising offensive piece for future rotations.
