Drew Timme Shines in Nets' Summer League Loss

Drew Timme delivered a standout performance in the Brooklyn Nets' NBA Summer League opener, scoring 22 points on 10-of-13 shooting with nine rebounds in a 90-81 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Timme's efficient play, leadership, defensive skills, and improved three-point shooting have drawn praise from coaches and teammates, who view him as a steady force on a roster with multiple first-round picks. He is competing for either a main roster or two-way contract spot as coaches emphasize his veteran presence and expect him to guide the team's younger players. With Brooklyn facing rebounding challenges and preparing to play the Wizards next, Timme is poised for another breakout game. His development and versatility continue to boost his chances for a stable NBA role. The Nets recently exercised Timme's $1.9 million team option for the upcoming season.
