The sold-out crowd at the Thomas & Mack Center erupted as the buzzer sounded, their deafening cheers a testament to the dominance of the Golden State Warriors in the 2026 NBA Summer League championship game. Yaxel Lendeborg’s dagger three at the buzzer sealed the deal, handing the Warriors their third NBA Summer League title in franchise history. Lendeborg, a rookie guard, scored a team-high 28 points, including 12 in the fourth quarter, to lead the Warriors to a 122-117 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies.
This championship win marks a significant moment in Warriors history, one that cements their status as one of the most successful summer league teams in the league. The Warriors have consistently demonstrated a knack for developing young talent, and Lendeborg’s performance is a prime example of this. The rookie guard, who was touted as one of the top prospects in the 2026 NBA draft, has been a force to be reckoned with in the summer league, earning himself a spot on the All-NBA Summer League first team.
For Lendeborg, the win is a validation of all the hard work he put in during the offseason. The rookie guard has been open about his goal of becoming a key contributor to the Warriors, and this championship win is a testament to his dedication. ‘I’m just grateful for the opportunity to play with these guys,’ Lendeborg said in the post-game interview. ‘We’ve been working towards this moment all summer, and to have it pay off is incredible.’
The Warriors will look to build on this momentum as they prepare for the upcoming NBA season. With Lendeborg and other young players like him, the team is poised to make a deep playoff run.
In the championship game, Lendeborg was unstoppable, hitting 10 of his 18 field goal attempts and sinking 6 three-pointers. He also grabbed 7 rebounds and dished out 4 assists, making him the clear MVP of the game.
