Carr logged 26 points (7-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds and one assist in 31 minutes during Sunday's 93-91 double-overtime win over the Heat at the California Classic Summer League.
Analysis

The 24th overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft has averaged 22.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 27.5 minutes per contest through two Summer League appearances. He figures to remain the Lakers' top option at Summer League for as long as he suits up.

Leads SL Lakers in scoring Friday
Carr finished with 19 points (7-15 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one block over 24 minutes in Friday's 104-72 California Classic Summer League loss to Golden State.
Analysis
Carr led the Lakers in scoring while tying Yaxel Lendeborg for a game-high 19 points. He also made five three-point shots, three more than the rest of the team combined. The 2026 No. 24 overall pick is coming off a sound 2025-26 campaign at Baylor, where he averaged 18.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.3 blocks and 0.9 steals on 49.4 percent shooting from the field and 37.4 percent shooting from deep across 33.7 minutes in 34 regular-season and postseason games. While Carr displayed flashes of promise in his Summer League debut, he faces an uphill battle for consistent playing time with the Lakers in 2026-27.
