With the 2023 NBA draft over, we’re just days away from game action as summer league looms.
Top draft picks like Victor Wembanyama, Scoot Henderson and Brandon Miller are expected to make their NBA debuts with their respective teams, while some lesser known players fight for a regular-season roster spot.
There are three tournaments running through July — the California Classic in Sacramento (July 3 and 5), the Salt Lake City league (July 3, 5 and 6), and the NBA 2K24 league in Las Vegas (July 7-17).
The California Classic features a marquee matchup early on, as Wembanyama’s San Antonio Spurs take on Miller’s Charlotte Hornets on July 3. The Spurs expect Wembanyama to play this summer, but it is not clear how many times he’ll play, or if he’ll play in Sacramento, Las Vegas or both.
If Sacramento is out for the 7-foot-5 phenom, the Spurs will get another crack at the Hornets on July 7 in Las Vegas. Joining the Spurs and Hornets in Sacramento are the Miami Heat, Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Lakers.
In Salt Lake City, the Utah Jazz will showcase their three first-round picks in Taylor Hendricks, Keyonte George and Brice Sensabaugh. Oklahoma City Thunder fans hope to get another look at Chet Holmgren, the 2022 No. 2 pick who injured his ankle in last year’s summer league that kept him out the entire 2022-23 season. The Memphis Grizzlies and the Philadelphia 76ers round out the teams playing in Utah.
