Now that the 2025 Summer League is in the books, the NBA announced its award winners for the 10-day event. Every July, the league migrates to Las Vegas for nearly two weeks to see the top rookies and young players suit up for their teams.

Fresh off an NBA championship, the Oklahoma City Thunder had a couple of notable names on their roster. Ajay Mitchell was one as the 23-year-old was their best player. He was named to the 2025 Summer League Second Team.

Mitchell averaged 20 points on 51.4% shooting, six rebounds and 4.3 assists in three games. Only his Las Vegas performances factored into this accolade. The Thunder also participated in Utah's four-team Summer League.

The other Summer League Second Team members were Kon Knueppel, Ron Holland II, KJ Simpson and Isaac Jones. The Summer League First Team members were SL MVP Kyle Filipowski, Terrence Shannon Jr., Jordan Miller, Nique Clifford and David Jones-Garcia.

The Thunder hope Mitchell can carry his momentum into the 2025-26 season. He had a productive rookie year before a toe injury sidelined him for three months. He has a real shot to win the backup point guard spot and help navigate the bench lineups.
