First off, let me state I can’t stand NBA. But last night when I got home from work, I flipped on the TV and the Heat summer league team was playing the Lakers. I watched for awhile waiting to see if Newman got in. Never saw him. Then I checked the box score this morning and he got a DNP coaches decision. So I thought the purpose of this summer league was to evaluate undrafted players to see if they were overlooked in the draft. Does anyone know or even care if he’s hurt and that’s why he didn’t play?

Looking at articles

saying he signed, ...were dated 7-2-18.

He's not yet on their roster, shown on their official internet site.

I suspect he's not really settled in.

Says he signed as a two way player, which means he could play some for the Lakers.

Newman has a toe injury. He had a toe injury when he was here too. Must be his camel toe.

Injury or not, many of the second round picks fail to make rosters, much less undrafted free agents. 80% chance Malik ends up in the D-League or overseas and never sniffs an NBA game.
