For the first time since its inception, the Las Vegas Summer will include all 30 NBA teams. Another first for the yearly event is each game will be televised live, either on ESPN Networks or NBA TV.
The Summer League begins Friday, July 6, with a record 10 games, and continues through Tuesday, July 17, at the Thomas & Mack Center and Cox Pavilion on the campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. The first day will include five games on NBA TV and a triple-header on ESPN.
The tournament-style format culminates with the Championship Game on July 17 at 7 p.m. PT on ESPN. Each team will play a minimum of five Las Vegas Summer League games, starting with three preliminary contests from July 6-10.
Teams will then be seeded for tournament play, which begins Wednesday, July 11, and concludes with the Championship Game on Tuesday, July 17. Tickets for all summer league games are now available and can be purchased at NBATickets.com.
The Los Angeles Lakers begin their defense of the Las Vegas Summer League title on Saturday, July 7, in a matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers at 8:30 p.m. PT live on ESPN 2.
The 76ers received the 10th overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft from the Lakers, who hold Nos. 25 and 47.
