The NBA's annual Summer League kicked off this weekend in Las Vegas, and so far, all eyes are on the 2024 Championship-winning Boston Celtics who are currently 1-1 after a win against the Los Angeles Lakers, and their star rookie Bronny James, who is in his first month with the team. During the 11-day tournament, 30 NBA teams, comprised mainly of incoming rookies and second-year players, will each play four games from July 12 to 19. From there, the top four teams advance to the playoffs with two semifinal games on July 21 and a championship game played on July 22. The remaining 26 teams will play a fifth game on either July 20 or July 21.
Playing in the tournament this summer are some of the top draft picks of 2024, including the Atlanta Hawks' power forward Zaccharie Risacher, and the Washington Wizards' Alex Sarr who were the first and second overall draft picks, respectively.
Games run every day this week and a complete schedule has been set through Friday, July 19. Semifinals will be scheduled based on the standings at the end of the week.
