Kylor Kelley
Inks deal with Los Angeles

Kelley will compete for a spot on the Lakers' regular-season roster during training camp. The big man appeared in 11 regular-season outings (two starts) between the Mavericks and Pelicans last season, averaging 3.1 points and 3.5 rebounds across 11.5 minutes per game. The Oregon State product spent most of the 2024-25 campaign with the G League's South Bay Lakers, during which he averaged 11.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.4 blocks and 1.5 assists across 26.7 minutes per game in 32 outings.

Deni Avdija
Returns to court for Israel

Avdija sat out Portland's final four games of the regular season with a thumb injury, but his presence back on the court this summer indicates he's fully recovered from the issue. The 2020 first-rounder shouldn't have any limitations for training camp this fall, and he's lined up as one of Portland's top playmakers for 2025-26. While he got off to a slow start a year ago, Avdija averaged 23.3 points, 9.7 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 33.6 minutes per game over 20 appearances after the All-Star break in 2024-25.

Bilal Coulibaly
Back in action during EuroBasket

Coulibaly missed the final month of the regular season due to a hamstring injury, but fantasy managers should be encouraged to see him back on the court this summer. The 2023 first-rounder figures to be a full participant in training camp this fall, and he's set to play a significant role in Washington's frontcourt in 2025-26. Coulibaly averaged 12.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.3 steals in 33.0 minutes per game through 59 regular-season outings in 2024-25.
