Strikes for 24 points in SL loss
Lanier logged 24 points (8-13 FG, 8-12 3Pt), two assists and one steal across 33 minutes in Monday's 86-75 Summer League loss to the Knicks.
Analysis
Although he didn't offer much outside of the scoring department, Lanier torched the nets and knocked down a game-high eight triples while leading all players in scoring. The 24-year-old has reached the 20-point threshold in back-to-back games, and over three appearances in Las Vegas this summer, he's averaging 20.3 points, 2.0 assists and 2.0 rebounds per game while shooting 53.3 percent from beyond the arc.

Logs 25 points in Summer League
Lanier finished Sunday's 103-94 Summer League win over the Cavaliers on Sunday with 25 points (9-17 FG, 7-12 3Pt), three assists, three rebounds and one steal over 30 minutes.
Analysis
Lanier set the tone early for the Pistons, scoring 17 of his team-high 25 points in the first quarter, 15 of which came on five three-pointers. The 2025 second-rounder saw limited action in his rookie year with the Pistons and will likely spend most of the 2026-27 campaign in the G League.

Scores 12 points in loss
Lanier finished with 12 points (4-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block in 32 minutes of Thursday's 101-93 Summer League loss to the 76ers.
Analysis
Lanier is coming off a rookie season in which he averaged 7.7 minutes across 34 regular-season appearances. He's likely going to open the 2026-27 campaign by getting some reps in the G League.
