Newell, Flemings Highlight Summer League Team
It’s not a surprise that Atlanta’s last three first-round picks, Asa Newell, Kingston Flemings, and Zuby Ejiofor will lead the summer league team into battle in two separate campaigns — Salt Lake City and Las Vegas.
But now the entire team has been finalized and announced as young Hawks look to make their first (or second) impression on fans:

Guards RayJ Dennis and Keshon Gilbert join the team after playing on two-way contracts last season almost entirely with the College Park Skyhawks. Additionally, the summer teams see the return of forwards Jacob Toppin and Eli Ndiaye, two players previously on two-way contracts who both suffered 2025-26 season-ending injuries.
I already broke down the schedule here for more information on timing of games, and the Hawks provided a table of name pronunciations and other information:
With two competitions come two head coaches. From the Atlanta Hawks:
Hawks assistant coaches Antonio Lang and Sanjay Lumpkin will serve as Atlanta’s Summer League head coaches. Lang, who is entering his fourth season with Atlanta, will serve as the team’s head coach in Salt Lake City. This will be his second time leading a Hawks Summer League team, as he served as the team’s head coach in 2023. Lumpkin, also entering his fourth season with the Hawks, will serve as Atlanta’s head coach at the 2026 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, his first stint at the helm of a Summer League team.
