The Los Angeles Lakers have revealed their 2026 Summer League roster, with their two most recent draft selections, Adou Thiero and Cameron Carr, headlining the group. These selections are set to participate in the upcoming Summer League games.
Thiero's rookie season was significantly impacted by a knee injury, which caused him to miss last year's Summer League and the start of the season. He played in only 25 games, primarily in limited minutes.
Carr's all-around game is expected to make him an exciting player to watch during Summer League. Both Thiero and Carr are athletic wings, adding an exciting dynamic to the team.
Additional notable players on the roster include two-way signings AK Okereke and Peter Suder, and last season's two-way player Chris Mañon. Arthur Kaluma and Luke Goode, who played for the G League's South Bay last season, are also included.
Former first-round pick Zhaire Smith, whose career was once derailed by a severe allergic reaction, is also on the roster. Smith has since been working his way back through the G League and with various NBA teams.
