We know you're pining for some Pauley Pavilion action, UCLA hoops heads. We are, too.

Thank goodness for the NBA Summer League.

Of the nine former UCLA Bruins currently playing in this year's iteration, six will be active tonight. Let's unpack who all is suiting up, for which teams, when, and where you can watch all the action.

We'll break things down chronologically.

To start, 6'4" former five-year guard David Singleton's Atlanta Hawks will be facing off against No. 53 draft pick Jaylen Clark's Minnesota Timberwolves at 1 p.m. PT on ESPN2. Clark, the reigning Naismith, NABC and Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year, is a 6'5" shooting guard inked to a two-way contract. Singleton, meanwhile, seems to be on an Exhibit 10 training camp deal.

Next, center Moses Brown's Toronto Raptors will play the Detroit Pistons, also on ESPN2. The 7'2" big man went undrafted in 2019, and has since bounced around with a variety of NBA and G League clubs. He was an All-NBA G League First Team and G League All-Defensive Team honoree while with the Oklahoma City Thunder's NBAGL affiliate, the Oklahoma City Blue.

After going undrafted in June, 5'11" three-time All-Pac-12 First Team point guard Tyger Campbell latched on with the Orlando Magic. They're in action against the New York Knicks at 5 p.m. PT on ESPN. The team is likely prioritizing the development of the three players it drafted in June, a tally that includes two combo guards who will take precedent over Campbell: guard Anthony Black (the No. 6 pick out of Arkansas) and No. 36 pick Andre Jackson Jr. out of the University of Connecticut. No. 11 pick Jett Howard, a small forward out of Michigan, is Orlando's other lottery rookie.

Two other ex-Bruins will be playing each other. Wing Peyton Watson is getting some offseason run on the reigning champion Denver Nuggets, who will strive to fend off shooting guard Johnny Juzang's Utah starting at 6:30 p.m. on NBA TV.
