NBA Summer League action has already kicked off, and Illinois basketball fans already have plenty to be excited about – from Minnesota Timberwolves second-year guard Terrence Shannon Jr.'s world-beating play to Miami Heat rookie guard Kasparas Jakucionis' breakout.

There's more to come if you're jazzed about following the progress of former Illini players in the NBA – including Shannon, a legitimate candidate for next season's NBA Most Improved Player; Jakucionis (the No. 20 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft) and Heat teammate Dain Dainja; Washington Wizards forward Will Riley (the No. 21 pick in last month's draft); and free-agent signees Coleman Hawkins (Golden State) and Quincy Guerrier (Toronto Raptors).

The remaining "regular season" Summer League games will be played this coming week, and consolation matchups and the championship game will play out starting Friday and ending Sunday, July 20. Keep an eye on Illinois on SI for more coverage of former Illini in the NBA through Summer League and into the 2025-26 season and beyond.
