The NBA took a two-week hiatus from on-court action after the NBA Finals, but it’s already back in full force with Summer League action.
All 30 NBA teams are in Las Vegas for the 2021 NBA Summer League, where each squad will play a total of five games. The two teams with the best records through four games will meet in the championship game on Aug. 17. The other teams will play a fifth and final game on either Aug. 16 or 17.
The top two picks in the 2021 NBA Draft — Pistons guard Cade Cunningham and Rockets guard Jalen Green — will get their first taste of NBA action. The Warriors‘ Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody, the Wizards’ Corey Kispert and the Kings’ Davion Mitchell are among the other talented rookies who will take the floor.
Several established young players are also competing, including the Sixers’ Tyrese Maxey, the Celtics‘ Payton Pritchard and the Bulls‘ Patrick Williams.
