Graham Ike entered the 2026 NBA draft without being selected, but his outings in the summer leagues have quickly turned heads across the basketball community.
In the Las Vegas Summer League he posted averages of 8.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.3 turnovers per game, ranking third among all rookies in box plus/minus. A subsequent stint in the California Summer League saw him improve to 9.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.3 blocks per game.
Warriors' Frontcourt Search
The Golden State Warriors, still seeking reliable frontcourt options after a series of injuries and the recent signing of Charles Bassey, see in Ike a blend of size and versatility that could help stabilize the position.
Teammates have highlighted his physicality, leadership and basketball IQ, noting that his work ethic sets a standard in the locker room and that his strong play could lead to a signing.
Summer League Finale
The Warriors close out the summer league schedule with a matchup against the New York Knicks on Thursday at 4:00 PM PT, a game that will be streamed on ESPN2 and could provide a final audition for Ike as he looks to earn a roster spot.
