2023 NBA 2K24 Summer League: Everything to Know
From Salt Lake City, Sacramento to Las Vegas, the NBA is ready to ball out this summer. With the 2023 NBA Draft in the rearview mirror and free agency underway, it’s time to turn our attention to the NBA Summer League. This annual event offers a sneak peek into the future of the NBA, as rookies from this year’s draft class make their debut with their new teams. It also provides a platform for second- and third-year players to showcase their skills and for undrafted players to prove themselves.
