Injury sidelines Tonje as Johnson signs big deal; Morez Johnson shines for Team USA.

John Tonje, the promising former Wisconsin Badgers standout, faced a setback as he missed his first NBA Summer League game with the Utah Jazz due to a right ankle sprain. His absence was felt during the Jazz`s hard-fought 93-89 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers, where teammate Steven Crowl suited up but did not see action. The Jazz`s roster is brimming with recent first-round picks, intensifying the competition for playing time as Tonje aims to make his mark.

In other news, Tre Johnson, the former Texas Longhorns guard and No. 6 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, has officially signed a lucrative four-year, $37.4 million rookie scale contract with the Washington Wizards. Johnson, who was the SEC`s leading scorer last season and earned the title of SEC Freshman of the Year, is poised to make an immediate impact in the league.

Meanwhile, Morez Johnson Jr., who recently transferred from Illinois to Michigan, shone brightly on the international stage, leading Team USA to a gold medal at the U19 FIBA tournament. His double-double of 15 points and 10 rebounds in the final against Germany capped off an undefeated run for the team. Michigan`s coach is optimistic about Johnson`s contributions in the upcoming season. Additionally, four-star class of 2025 prospect Treyvon Maddox has committed to Miami, enhancing the Hurricanes` recruiting class for next season.
