NBA Summer League schedule: Dates, teams and more

The NBA Summer League schedule is set to begin on July 3rd in the wake of the NBA draft this week. With the league's best and brightest young talent set to take the floor, let's take a look at teams, players, and dates for the NBA summer league schedule.

This year the NBA has taken a page out of FIFA's book, with the summer league taking place in three cities: Las Vegas, Sacramento, and Salt Lake City. With that, each city has a different NBA summer league schedule.

Fortunately for fans, all 30 teams will be participating, meaning that viewers will have the chance to see their team compete for the championship.

France v Australia: 3rd Place Game - FIBA World Cup 2019

This year, the NBA Summer League Schedule will have to work around the World Cup, which is set to run from August 25th through September 10th. Considering numerous NBA players, most notably Victor Wembanyama, will be competing for their country, NBA teams will want them to rest.

Despite the busy schedule, the No. 1 pick does plan to play in the Summer League.

Looking at whether Victor Wembanyama will play in the NBA Summer League

Given that Victor Wembanyama's season with the Metropolitans 92 ended right before the NBA draft, the assumption was that he wouldn't play in the Summer League. Shockingly, he revealed that although he's fresh off a full season, and he has the FIBA World Cup at the end of the summer, he will play in Summer League.

Whether by chance, or by strategic planning, the NBA Summer League schedule has Wembanyama competing against fellow top 3 picks right off the bat. Once Wembanyama and the Spurs land in Las Vegas for the NBA 2K24 Summer League, he will face Brandon Miller and Scoot Henderson in his first two games.

Metropolitans 92 v G League Ignite

As NBA Commissioner Adam Silver explained recently prior to the draft, it's his hope that Wembanyama competes in the Summer League. While he can't force the 7-foot-5 star to play, it sounds as though he hopes the Spurs make the right decision.

He was quoted by CBSSports.com as saying:

"What's made the summer leagues so valuable are really the media rights more than the individuals who buy tickets there, because it's a very affordable experience.

"So, the answer is, I want Victor to get playing court experience and I think the team — assuming it's San Antonio — should make decisions completely independent of any commercial implications from where he debuts."
