Big Ten Roundup: NBA Summer League Features 41 Conference Alumni

The 2022 NBA Summer League tipped off this week, showcasing some the league's top future talent.

The Summer League is divided into three locations. The Golden State Warriors hosted the first round of summer league games – the California Classic Summer League – which took place from July 2 to July 5 at the Chase Center in San Francisco, Ca. and featured the Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat and Sacramento Kings.

The Utah Jazz hosted the Salt Lake City Summer League, which began on July 5 and ends on July 7. This slate features games between the Jazz, Memphis Grizzlies, Oklahoma City Thunder and Philadelphia 76ers at Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah.

And finally, the bulk of action will take place at the NBA 2K23 Summer League, which is an 11-day event from July 7 to July 17 at Cox Pavilion and the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nev. Games can be seen on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU and NBA TV.

This event will feature all 30 NBA teams playing five games each, and the two teams with the best records from the first four games will meet in the Championship Game on Sunday, July 17 at 3 p.m. ET on ESPN.
