Meleek Thomas shines in Cavs' NBA Summer League debut

Rookie guard Meleek Thomas delivered standout performances in his first two NBA Summer League games for the Cleveland Cavaliers. In a 103‑94 loss to the Detroit Pistons, Thomas recorded 30 points, seven assists, four rebounds, four steals and only two turnovers, serving as the primary playmaker for the Cavs.

Two days later, against the Indiana Pacers, Thomas scored 20 points, including a decisive 12‑point surge in the fourth quarter that helped erase a 19‑point deficit, though the Cavs fell 99‑93. A social‑media post noted, "The Cavs' 2nd round pick scored 12 of his 20 PTS in the 4Q." Both outings highlighted Thomas' scoring ability and playmaking potential despite the team's defeats.
