Game Detail

LAS VEGAS –

Rookie standout Cameron Carr scored a game-high 23 points as the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the LA Clippers, 99-85, in the 2026 NBA Summer League on Tuesday.

The game had four lead changes over the opening six minutes, but once the Lakers went up 10-9, they never looked back. The 16-point lead at the break (54-38) was too much for the Clippers, and after the Lakers won the third quarter 29-22, the game was simply out of reach.

The Lakers cruised to an easy win to keep their perfect record intact, while the Clippers fell to 1-2.
