The most anticipated on-court event on the summer basketball calendar begins Thursday as the Las Vegas Summer League gets started with a seven-game slate. The headlining matchup of the multi-week event from Sin City will feature No. 1 overall pick Cooper Flagg and the Dallas Mavericks facing the Los Angeles Lakers.
Each team will play at least five games in Las Vegas. After the first four games, the top four teams will advance to the playoffs and play each other in the semifinals on July 19. The two winning teams from each side will play each other on July 20 for the Vegas Summer League title. The Miami Heat defeated the Memphis Grizzlies last summer in the championship game.
There are plenty of intriguing matchups on the schedule, which includes a face-off between the No. 1 and 2 picks from the 2025 NBA Draft (Flagg and Dylan Harper) when the Mavericks face the San Antonio Spurs. Other notable games are the Charlotte Hornets vs. the Utah Jazz (July 11) and the Brooklyn Nets vs. the Washington Wizards (July 13).
