Won't go Sunday
Powell (undisclosed) won't play in Sunday's California Classic Summer League game against the Bucks, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
Analyse
It's unclear exactly why Powell won't play Sunday, though the Nets have three games in as many days, so he may just be receiving a rest day. His next opportunity to play will come Monday against Warriors Blue.

Struggles in loss to Sacramento
Powell finished with four points (0-9 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal over 24 minutes in Saturday's 79-76 California Classic Summer League loss to the Kings.
Analyse
Powell couldn't get anything going to begin the California version of Summer League. He went 0-for-9 from the field (0-for-5 from three-point range) while committing three turnovers. The 2025 No. 22 overall pick averaged 6.5 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.2 blocks and 0.6 steals across 21.0 minutes in 63 regular-season appearances in 2025-26. Although his first year wasn't the worst, he has more work to do in order to carve out a routine spot in the rotation heading into the 2026-27 campaign. His odds of accomplishing that won't improve unless he turns it around this summer.
