Both Yanick and Markus play in the D-League. I'm guessing Yanick would play for Tornoto and Markus for Houston if they are still associated with the teams.

How does the Paul trade impact Nic Moore - has he just moved up a notch within the Clippers Org?

Don't think it changes a thing for NM. The vast majority of summer league players are brought it to fill spots on the SL teams and have little bearing on the actual NBA team.

Nic also did not roast Doc Rivers and Roc Divers in the Eastern Conference playoffs from 2008-2010.

According to this release, no Yanick or Nic in Summer League. If true, anyone know why they wouldn't be participating?

Four Mustangs will play with NBA teams for the 2017 NBA Summer League.

This is just for Orlando summer league, and neither the Raptors or Clippers are participating. But we still have 6 on some sort of summer league roster.

Ben played 25 minutes and some nice moments. Scored 4 pts, 2 boards and a block. Played well on the defensive end.

MK did not play - coach's decision. Detroit had about six guys who DNP, so it might be a case where they give a group run one game then sit the next.
