Chet Holmgren In Action Again After Electrifying Debut
I told myself not to overreact to Summer League games, yet one game in, here we are. It’s hard not to be hyperbolic about Chet Holmgren after his incredible debut performance last night.
We’ll get more chances to see Holmgren and the rest of the top prospects in the class throughout this week and next. Plus, the Women’s European Championship begins and Shohei Ohtani takes the mound looking to extend a long scoreless streak.
A quick note: Due to COVID-19, sports schedules are fluid and subject to change.

Chet Holmgren made quite the first impression in his first action in a Thunder uniform, dazzling fans everywhere with his skill level and shot-blocking ability. It's hard not to be excited about Chet’s future in the NBA. He’ll get tested today against a Memphis team that features a pair of first round picks from this year’s draft as well as Xavier Tillman, a rotation player for the Grizz this past season.

HIDDEN GEM:
New York Liberty at Las Vegas Aces
In a strange scheduling quirk, three of the Liberty’s next four games come against the Aces, as New York will play host to the best team in the Western Conference for a pair of games after the All-Star break. It’s part of a gauntlet of a schedule the Liberty have in front of them in July, which features seven of their next eight games against teams over. 500 and five of those against the top two teams in the league. Can Sabrina Ionescu lift New York to some upset wins that would go a long way towards the Liberty making a second straight playoff appearance?
