NBA Summer League – July 2-17

It isn’t quite as entertaining as the actual NBA season, but NBA Summer League is still a lot of fun. Heck, you could argue that it’s more intriguing than the NBA Finals have been the past two years!

The Utah Jazz will kick off their rendition of Summer League in Salt Lake City right during the thick of free agency madness on July 2-5. The Jazz welcome two new squads to Summer League within Vivint Smart Home Arena this year as the Atlanta Hawks and Memphis Grizzlies will be taking the place of the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers. The San Antonio Spurs will return once again this year.

The four teams will all play on July 2nd, 3rd and 5th. Following Utah Summer League, all 30 NBA teams will participate in this year’s Las Vegas Summer League, making for an even more exciting event. That runs from July 6-17, with the Jazz playing on July 7th, 8th and 10th leading up to tournament play from July 11-17.

The full schedule can be found in the tweet below–

Summer League provides an awesome opportunity to see the newest Jazzmen hit the floor for the first time as well as view some of the most promising young talent across the league. Considering that the Hawks and Grizzlies are both selecting in the top four of the 2018 NBA Draft, fans in Salt Lake City will very likely be treated with the pleasure of seeing two elite rookies in action at Utah Summer League.

Last year, Donovan Mitchell was one of the sensations of Summer League. It will be exhilarating to see if a Jazzman can match such a performance this time around.
