About the league
The NBA Summer League is an annual basketball tournament organized by the National Basketball Association (NBA). The league was established in 2004 as the Las Vegas Summer League, with the Orlando Summer League and Utah Summer League added in 2018. The tournament features teams from the NBA, as well as international teams and squads composed of undrafted free agents. Top teams and participants include the Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics, and Golden State Warriors. The competition format consists of a round-robin group stage, followed by a single-elimination tournament. Notable achievements include the emergence of players like Blake Griffin and Damian Lillard, who used the Summer League as a platform to launch their NBA careers. The league provides a showcase for young players, free agents, and coaching staff to demonstrate their skills and potentially earn contracts or promotions within the NBA. The tournament is broadcast on ESPN and NBA TV.
