For the first time ever, all 30 teams are participating in the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas. It’s an opportunity for young players and rookies to prove themselves, and it’s also the first chance for NBA fans to get a glimpse of some of these players in action.
Play begins on Friday, July 6 and will run until Tuesday, July 17—with playoffs and a championship game in between.
Four of the Wildcats’ recent draftees—Mikal Bridges, Donte DiVincenzo, Jalen Brunson, and Omari Spellman—are expected to play. Three more alumni are also in it: Ryan Arcidiacono, Daniel Ochefu, and Kris Jenkins.
