The California Classic is a rather new event that has been added to the fun of NBA Summer League. This year will be the fifth installment of the festivities.
When it first began, the California Classic was a series of games that the Sacramento Kings host for the other teams in the state. This includes the LA Lakers and Golden State Warriors. All the games take place at the Kings home venue, the Golden 1 Arena.
In the beginning, the teams competing were only from California. However, this year will see an expanded group. Other teams taking place in this event will be the San Antonio Spurs and the Charlotte Hornets.
