Stokes posted 19 points (7-9 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and four rebounds across 21 minutes during the Trail Blazers' 99-84 win over the Bucks in a Las Vegas Summer League consolation game Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old finished off his Las Vegas audition with yet another convincing performance, and his overall body of work in the desert may have earned him a longer look from the Trail Blazers beginning in training camp. Stokes generated solid averages of 10.6 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists across 20.6 minutes over five games in summer league play.

Stokes amassed 17 points (8-8 FG, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds and one assist across 20 minutes during the Trail Blazers' 92-87 loss to the Thunder in a Las Vegas Summer League game Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The big man stepped up with his best all-around performance of summer league play. Stokes is now averaging 8.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 block across 20.5 minutes over four games in Las Vegas as he looks to make a case for a training camp invite. The 2014 second-round pick of the Grizzlies has 28 games of NBA experience under his belt, but he last saw regular-season action with the Nuggets back in the 2016-17 campaign.

Stokes will leave the Sioux Falls SkyForce to "pursue other opportunities," Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stokes was in training camp with the Heat, but he failed to crack the roster and will likely seek an opportunity overseas. The former Tennessee standout last appeared in an NBA game for the Nuggets in November of 2016.

Stokes will be let go by the Grizzlies, Chris Herrington of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Memphis signed stokes to a two-way contract at the beginning of January, but his time with the organization will seemingly come to a quick end. He failed to suit up for the Grizzlies during his brief stint with the team.

Stokes has spent six games in the G League this season, averaging 15.2 points, 10.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and a combined 2.5 blocks/steals in 27.2 minutes. He also shot an impressive 60.0 percent from the field.

Stokes is expected to sign a two-way contract with the Grizzlies, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stokes, who was waived by the Heat at the start of the season, is expected to fill the Grizzlies newly-open two-way spot. The Grizzlies parted ways with two-way player DJ Stephens earlier on Sunday. Stokes likely won't see much NBA action, as Stephens saw only one NBA appearance.

Stokes agreed Monday to sign a contract with the Heat, freelance reporter Jeff Goodman reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stokes' last NBA action came during the 2016-17 campaign, when he logged just 3.5 minutes per contest across two games. He did play for the Bulls during the Las Vegas Summer League in July, but didn't provide anything overly impressive, averaging just 5.0 points and 2.8 rebounds across five games. As a result, his deal with the Heat is likely only for training camp, so he'll need to thoroughly impress the staff during camp and the preseason to have any chance at a final roster spot.

EDGE Analysis
Stokes, a second-round pick in 2014, last played in the NBA during the 2016-17 campaign, where he saw seven minutes for the Nuggets. Most recently, he's been a part of the Chinese Basketball Association, where he's averaged 25.0 points and 13.9 rebounds per contest.

Stokes (foot) was waived by the Nuggets on Tuesday, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stokes barely beat out Robbie Hummel for the 15th and final spot on the Nuggets' regular season roster out of camp. However, he was never able to earn a spot in the team's regular rotation, as he played in just two games for a total of seven minutes. Adding on to that, Stokes was slated to miss a third consecutive game on Wednesday while dealing with a foot injury, so the Nuggets have opted to cut ties with him and he'll head to the free agent pool. Once healthy, Stokes could get a look elsewhere, but if not, the D-League could be his best option.
