What venues will be used for the Las Vegas Summer League?

This year, there will be two arenas in use for the Summer League. Those arenas will be the Thomas & Mack Center and the Cox Pavilion. Teams will split their games between the two arenas, with multiple contests taking place at the same time.

Will Victor Wembanyama play in the Summer League?

Leading up to the NBA draft, the rumor was that Victor Wembanyama would not be participating in the NBA Summer League, as he would spend the summer acclimating to the United States and improving his game.

However, according to a June 21 report by Andscape's Marc J. Spears, Wembanyama will, in fact, be participating in Las Vegas. This will provide fans with their first glimpse of this year's first-overall draft pick in an NBA setting. Wembanyama will be foregoing an opportunity to represent the French National team in order to participate in Summer League this season.

Along with Victor Wembanyama, both Brandon Miller and Scoot Henderson are also expected to compete in the Las Vegas Summer League, meaning all three of this year's top draft picks will be showcasing their skills in July.

Who won last year's Summer League?

In the 2022 NBA Summer League, the Portland Trail Blazers were crowned as champions. Portland's roster overcame a well-coached New York Knicks team to win the Summer League tournament, and they will now be hoping to repeat the feat this year, led by Scoot Henderson.

Unfortunately for Portland, their Summer League success did not translate over into the regular NBA Season, and now the Western Conference team is facing the reality that they may lose star point guard Damian Lillard.

Where can you watch the NBA Summer League?

The Summer League will be streaming live on and on-demand on NBA League Pass. Games will also be shown on NBA TV, ESPN, ESPN 2, ESPNU, and ESPNews. Highlights will also be available on YouTube.
