The 2025 NBA 2K26 Summer League has officially wrapped—and it didn’t disappoint. After a wild few weeks of breakout stars, surprise performances, and major storylines, the NBA closed things out with the official release of the All-Summer League Teams, headlined by Charlotte Hornets big man Kyle Filipowski, who was named the NBA 2K26 Summer League MVP.
MVP: Kyle Filipowski (Charlotte Hornets)
Filipowski was dominant from start to finish in Las Vegas, helping lead the Hornets to the Summer League championship over the Sacramento Kings. His combination of size, skill, and touch on offense made him nearly unguardable, and he anchored the paint with surprising consistency.
In the championship run, Filipowski showcased the upside that made him a sleeper pick in the 2024 NBA Draft—and now, he leaves Vegas as the league’s most valuable player.
All-Summer League First Team:
- Nique Clifford
Clifford turned heads with his versatility and two-way presence, often guarding the opposing team’s best player while providing solid scoring on the wing. - Kyle Filipowski
The MVP gets the First Team nod, unsurprisingly. His footwork, vision, and feel for the game were simply elite for Summer League standards. - David Jones-Garcia
A walking highlight reel, Jones-Garcia played with flair and power. His physicality stood out, and he made his case as one of the top rookies to watch heading into training camp. - Jordan Miller
Smooth, steady, and efficient. Miller made smart decisions with the ball and was a key contributor on both ends throughout Summer League. - Terrence Shannon Jr.
Electric in transition and an improved shooter, Shannon Jr. was a nightmare for defenders every game. His motor and athleticism gave him an edge every night.
All-Summer League Second Team:
- Ron Holland II
The highly touted prospect showed flashes of brilliance, especially on the defensive end. His athleticism and hustle earned him a spot here. - Isaac Jones
One of the more under-the-radar names coming into Vegas, Jones put together an impressive stretch, showing poise and polish in the frontcourt. - Kon Knueppel
A sharpshooter with underrated playmaking skills, Knueppel knocked down big shots and played with a high IQ throughout the tournament. - Ajay Mitchell
The floor general of his squad, Mitchell’s calm demeanor and passing vision helped elevate his teammates—and caught the eye of scouts leaguewide. - KJ Simpson
Explosive and crafty, Simpson turned in multiple big-time scoring performances. His ability to get downhill and create off the dribble was on full display.
What’s Next?
With the Summer League now complete, eyes turn toward training camps and preseason battles. For players like Filipowski and Clifford, this could be the start of something special. And for fans? This was a preview of the future—bright, bold, and buzzing with potential.
