The 2026 NBA Summer League series is officially in the books. The multi-week event saw 11 former Tennessee Basketball players participate, including all three players from the Vols’ NBA Draft class this summer.
In total, Tennessee had VFLs Ja’Kobi Gillespie (Spurs), Zakai Zeigler (Spurs), Igor Milicic (Spurs), Nate Ament (Bucks), Felix Okpara (Wizards), Chaz Lanier (Pistons), Jahmai Mashack (Grizzlies), Tyreke Key (Raptors), Jaden Springer (Mavericks), Kennedy Chandler (Bulls), and Keon Johnson (Magic) all playing in Sin City.
Mashack and the Grizzlies made it all the way to the Summer League finals, but fell short to the Warriors by a score of 94-90.
All 11 of Tennessee’s players played at least four games, with Mashack playing in six thanks to the run in the SL postseason. Lanier led the former Vols in both minutes (31.2 MPG) and points (17.4 PPG), but Gillespie was close behind with 26.5 MPG and 16.0 PPG. The rebounding leaders were Milicic (7.0 RPG) and Okpara (5.5), while Gillespie led the way in assists (4.2 APG).
Nate Ament averaged 11.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.4 assists in 23.4 minutes per game with the Bucks.
