NBA Summer League 2025: A Sneak Peek at the Future
The NBA Summer League is underway, offering basketball fans a first look at the league's newest rookies and young talent. The Las Vegas Summer League, a highlight of the offseason, runs from July 10-20, 2025, at the Thomas & Mack Center and Cox Pavilion on the UNLV campus. All games will be broadcast on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, and NBA TV, and can be streamed on FUBO (free trial) and ESPN+.
This year's Summer League features highly anticipated rookies like Cooper Flagg, Ace Bailey, and Dylan Harper, among others. Each team will play at least five games, with the top four teams advancing to the semifinals on July 19 and the finals on July 20. Teams not making the tournament will play a final game on July 18, 19, or 20.
Spurs Find Gems in Summer League Win
The San Antonio Spurs showcased their depth in a recent 90-88 victory over the Golden State Warriors. Despite missing lottery picks Dylan Harper and Carter Bryant, the Spurs' summer league squad demonstrated potential. David Jones-Garcia stood out, scoring 25 points on 9-14 shooting, including 4-7 from beyond the arc. Jameer Nelson Jr. added 12 points, consistently driving to the basket and drawing fouls.
Jones-Garcia and Nelson Jr. are positioning themselves for training camp invites, potentially with the Spurs or another NBA team. Their performances highlight the Summer League's role in uncovering hidden talent and providing opportunities for undrafted free agents and G League players. The Spurs' summer staff should be pleased with the overall talent and potential displayed by the roster.
The Austin Spurs, San Antonio's G League affiliate, could benefit from this summer's discoveries. With emerging scorers, ball-handlers, shooters, and tough big men, the Austin Spurs appear well-equipped for the upcoming season. Keep an eye on these players as they strive to make their mark in the NBA.
