Brooklyn Nets forward Jalen Wilson earned the prestigious MVP honors at the NBA 2K25 Summer League 2024 in Las Vegas. Wilson showcased his impressive skills, averaging 21.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.0 assists, and 0.6 steals over five games. He shot an efficient 47.3% from the field and an outstanding 55% from three-point range, leading the Nets to a 3-2 record.

In the Nets’ Summer League finale against the Charlotte Hornets, Wilson played 22 minutes and contributed 12 points. Among players who participated in at least three games, Wilson was the second-leading scorer in the Summer League, only behind Los Angeles Clippers’ second-year forward Jordan Miller. Wilson had three games with 25 or more points and recorded a standout performance with a team-high 33 points and 10 rebounds in a 102-100 victory over the Orlando Magic.

Jalen Wilson, the No. 51 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft out of Kansas, significantly raised his profile during the multi-week event in Sin City. After averaging 5.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.0 assists across 43 games in his rookie season, Wilson demonstrated in Las Vegas why he could be a key contributor for the Nets in the 2024-25 season, as the team undergoes a rebuilding phase.
