Dawson Garcia, who led the Gophers’ men’s basketball team in scoring and rebounding for the past three seasons, has signed a free-agent deal with the Detroit Pistons and will play in the NBA 2K26 Summer League.

A 6-foot-11 forward from Savage who played high school basketball at Prior Lake, Garcia was a second-team all-Big Ten selection last season after averaging 19.2 points and 7.5 rebounds a game.

The 30-team NBA 2K26 Summer League is scheduled for July 10-20 in Las Vegas at UNLV’s Thomas & Mack Center and Pavilion.
