The 2024 NBA postseason just ended, and the Boston Celtics were crowned champions for the 18th time. The lull of summer quickly approaches, as the NBA Draft has already passed and the majority of major free agent moves have already been made. There is still basketball to be watched, though, and if it has already been too long since you turned the TV on to watch a basketball game, then the NBA Summer League is for you.
The NBA Summer League has expanded in recent seasons. The popularity of young prospects has increased, and there are now more venues than ever for young players to make a name for themselves. There are now three versions of Summer League: the California Classic Summer League, the Salt Lake City Summer League, and Las Vegas Summer League.
Summer League is the first chance for fans and teams to see what their young prospects are made of, and the 2024 NBA Summer League is one of the most anticipated ever. The 2024 NBA Draft was considered one of the weakest in recent memory, so fans truly have no clue what to expect from this crop of rookies. A lot of questions will be answered, and some of the top young talent will emerge when Summer League takes place over the coming weeks.
