Jul 21, 2026 11:20 PM

Every offseason, the NFL takes over Las Vegas for Summer League, and this season, eight Tigers participated. Several former Tigers played in either the NBA or G-League last season, while others are trying to prove they can play in an NBA organization.

After looking at the first half of the former Tigers, it’s time to look at the remaining four players who played in Summer League.

Earl Timberlake Jr. (Milwaukee Bucks)

Earl Timberlake Jr. was listed on the Milwaukee Bucks roster, but he didn’t appear in any games during Vegas Summer League. He was listed on the box score as a “DNP-Coach’s decision,” but he didn’t appear on another box score after that.

It’s unclear what kept him out of summer league, but it could’ve been an injury sustained before play started in Vegas. Timberlake played for Oliveirense in Portugal last season and averaged 15.5 points, 8.1 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.8 blocks and a steal in 33 games.

Damion Baugh (Minnesota T-Wolves)

Damion Baugh spent the last few weeks playing for the Timberwolves’ Summer League team, and he averaged 16.4 minutes in five games. The point guard averaged 4.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists and a steal per game, and his best game was a six-point outing against the Pelicans in Minnesota’s first game in Vegas.

He also had a nice play against the Clippers, where he hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer at the end of the first quarter.

Baugh played six games for the Calgary Surge in the Canadian Elite Basketball League before heading to Summer League, and it will be interesting to see if he returns to Calgary now that Summer League is over.

John Camden (Washington Wizards)

After finishing his college career at Cal, John Camden joined the Washington Wizards for Summer League. Camden didn’t appear in the first game against the Jazz, but he played in the final four games and averaged 9.3 points and three rebounds in 19.9 minutes per game.

While he averaged nearly 10 points per game, Camden shot only 29.2 percent from deep, which was one of his strengths in college. The wing shot 39.5 percent or better in three of his five collegiate seasons, and he averaged more than six three pointers per game in his last two seasons.

Camden recorded 22 points, eight rebounds, two assists and a block in 27 minutes against the Hawks. In that game, he shot 46.2 percent from the field and 50 percent from three-point range. 

Dain Dainja (Brooklyn Nets)

After playing for the Heat in Summer League last year, Dain Dainja joined the Nets in the 2026 Summer League, and he averaged 6.8 points and 5.4 rebounds in five games. He played 12 minutes or fewer in the first three games, but he averaged 20 minutes in the final two games and played much better.

In the final two games in Las Vegas, Dainja averaged 14 points, seven rebounds, and he recorded 14 points, eight rebounds, three steals and three blocks in the final game of Summer League.
