Fears, the No. 7 overall pick in the 2025 NBA draft, netted 22 points for the New Orleans Pelicans in Las Vegas. Cody Williams, the 10th overall selection in 2024, also shined with 26 points for the Utah Jazz. Jeremiah Fears ended his Summer League slate on a high with 22 points in a defeat to the Indiana Pacers.

For the Utah Jazz, they've already gotten their feet wet within the summer league action, thanks to their three preliminary games in the Salt Lake City Summer League, but they'll have a whole new slate ahead of them in Vegas–– starting off with the Charlotte Hornets and fourth-overall pick Kon Knueppel on Friday.

On Sunday night the Jazz fielded a summer league squad that did not feature a single drafted rookie. No Ace Bailey, no Walter Clayton Jr., no John Tonje. Not even RJ Luis Jr., the undrafted rookie out of St. John’s, played for the Jazz.
