Sergio de Larrea shines in Las Vegas: double-double with 16 points and 12 assists to knock on the door of the Mavericks
Dallas Mavericks victory at the pace of the Spanish player against Cameron Boozer's Grizzlies in the Summer League
Sergio de Larrea made a statement at the Las Vegas Summer League. The Spanish point guard was the main playmaker for the Dallas Mavericks in the 96-88 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies, delivering an outstanding performance with 16 points, 12 assists, and a block in 30 minutes that confirmed the huge potential of the Valencian.
Beyond the numbers, De Larrea once again demonstrated a maturity uncommon for a player of his age. He controlled the pace of the game, constantly created advantages for his teammates, and was very reliable from the free-throw line (6/6), in addition to hitting two three-pointers. His 12 assists were the best evidence of his ability to orchestrate the team and reinforced the feeling that he could become an important piece for Dallas as he completes his development process and aims for a stable role in the Texan team's rotation.
The Spanish player led the attack of a well-balanced Mavericks team, which ended with an excellent 51% shooting from the field and distributed 25 assists. Darin Green Jr. added 18 points off the bench, Jaden Springer contributed 17, and Kaodirichi Akobundu-Ehiogu chipped in with 16 points on an almost perfect 7-for-8 shooting.
Cameron Boozer shines despite the defeat
In Memphis, all eyes were on Cameron Boozer, the 3rd pick of the 2026 Draft, and the power forward once again showed why he is considered one of the great talents of his generation.
Boozer finished with 21 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 steals, being the leading scorer for the Grizzlies. However, he also suffered from his team's offensive inconsistency, shooting 7 for 17 from the field and a modest 2 for 8 from beyond the arc. Cedric Coward contributed 17 points and 12 rebounds, while Olivier-Maxence Prosper added 18 points.
The Grizzlies struggled with their shooting accuracy, finishing the game with a 32 for 86 from the field (37%) and a poor 12 for 42 from three-point range, figures that allowed Dallas to control the game.
