Yaxel Lendeborg won his second ring in four months Sunday, leading the Golden State Warriors past the Memphis Grizzlies 94-90 in the NBA summer league championship game at UNLV's Thomas & Mack Center. Lendeborg, who starred for the University of Michigan's NCAA title team last season, finished with 21 points and 10 rebounds to outduel Cameron Boozer in an intense showdown of 2026 lottery picks. He became just the second player to win a Division I NCAA championship and a Vegas summer league title in the same year, joining Davion Mitchell.

The Warriors (5-1) captured their second summer league championship, joining the Sacramento Kings and Portland Trail Blazers as the only teams to win the event multiple times since its inception in 2013. Golden State emerged triumphant in a back-and-forth contest in which the score was tied at halftime. Boozer, the No. 3 pick out of Duke, led the Grizzlies with 19 points, eight rebounds and four assists. But Lendeborg countered in crunch time, scoring three buckets in quick succession to lead the Warriors' fourth-quarter comeback. Warriors guard Deivon Smith scored 21 points off the bench.

Despite the title game loss, Boozer led the Grizzlies to a 4-2 record during an impressive summer league run. The 19-year-old forward is in position to be the face of a Grizzlies' youth movement after the franchise traded All-Stars Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. in separate deals. Golden State's victory provided a dose of revenge for Lendeborg, whose Wolverines lost a high-profile matchup against Boozer's Blue Devils in February.

While the Warriors utilized the 6-foot-9 Lendeborg as a do-everything forward and go-to scorer in summer league, he is expected to serve as a complementary player for veteran stars Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler III. Warriors summer league coach Khalid Robinson said Lendeborg's versatility and motor make him ideally suited to that role.
