The California Classic NBA Summer League tipped off on Friday and there were four former Wolverines who played. Both Yaxel Lendeborg and Vlad Goldin took the court, along with Tarris Reed Jr. and Tre Donaldson — although neither finished their career in Ann Arbor. Yaxel Lendeborg stole the showThe Warriors Gold squad crushed the Los Angeles Lakers, 104-72, and it was the former Wolverine who shined. Lendeborg, the No. 11 overall pick in the draft, scored a team-high 19 points, tying Cameron Carr on the Lakers. Lendeborg went a flawless 6-for-6 from the field, including making all four of his three-point shots. The 6'9" forward dished out a team-high six assists, and was tied leading Golden State with five rebounds. Lendeborg also blocked one shot and stole a ball. He also had four late turnovers, but it was nearly a flawless first performance in his debut in the Summer League. — NBA (@NBA) July 4, 2026Vlad Goldin shows his consistent waysEntering his second season in the NBA, Vlad Goldin hopes to show he belongs in the league as a member of the Miami Heat.
