Do you want to see all 30 NBA teams in action, all in one place? Then look no further than the NBA Summer League, which returns to Las Vegas from 7-17 July. This annual off-season event provides fans with a smorgasbord of games, all at a single venue in the Thomas & Mack Center and Cox Pavilion.
The Las Vegas Summer League was first held in 2004, when it featured 6 teams for a total of 13 games. Now, you’ll have to get ready for an action-packed summer in the (sin) city, because over the course of 11 thrilling days, you’ll be treated to 75 games – almost an entire season’s worth – featuring all of your favourite teams. Each contest is slightly shortened, with 10-minute quarters instead of the usual 12, but this only adds to the rapid-fire nature of this frenetic event.
Each team will play 5 games, and the 2 with the best record over the first 4 games will face off against each other on the final day in the Championship game. In 2021, the Sacramento Kings beat the Boston Celtics 100-67 in the Championship game to come out on top for the first time since 2014.
The competition also gives NBA teams the chance to try out rookie and sophomore players, so fans will be able to get a glimpse at the next generation of talent in action. In 2021, Sacramento point guard Davion Mitchell and the Brooklyn Nets’ Cameron Thomas were named as co-MVPs of the tournament.
What’s more, fans will also enjoy much more access to NBA stars than they would at a normal game – you'll be taking photos with legends and getting autographs from future All-Stars all summer long!
Daily general admission tickets are available from USD $56, with each granting you access to every game played on the day selected, while season tickets cost $455 – that's just $6 per game! Premium reserved seating season tickets are available for $1,800; daily reserved seating will be available at a later date, so be sure to add this event to your interests to be notified when it does!
It’s going to be a long hot summer, so get yourself out of the sun and into the Thomas & Mack Center, where the only heat will be coming from the court!
