    A record 24 NBA teams will compete in NBA Summer League 2017 from July 7-17 at the Thomas & Mack Center and Cox Pavilion on the campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

    For the fifth consecutive year, the 11-day, 67-game league will feature a tournament-style schedule, culminating in a Championship Game on the final day of competition. Last year’s event set records for total attendance, single-day attendance, combined viewership across ESPN and NBA TV, and NBA social media.

    Tickets for NBA Summer League will go on sale Monday May 22 at 10 a.m. PT. Fans can purchase tickets by visiting NBATickets.com.

    NBA Summer League has a rich history of showcasing the NBA’s future stars. This year’s competition will include the owners of the top five overall picks in NBA Draft 2017 presented by State Farm: the Boston C Bags (No. 1), Los Angeles Lakers (No. 2), Philadelphia 76ers (No. 3), Phoenix Suns (No. 4) and Sacramento Kings (No. 5). In total, eight of the top 10 picks in the June 22 draft belong to teams that will play in Las Vegas.

    The field will also be highlighted by 14 teams that qualified for the 2017 NBA Playoffs, including the defending Summer League Champion Chicago Bulls and all four conference finalists: the 2016 NBA Champion Cleveland Cavaliers, the Golden State Warriors, the San Antonio Spurs and the C Bags. Another playoff team, the L.A. Clippers, will compete in Las Vegas for the first time since 2014.

    Teams will compete in three preliminary games beginning July 7 before being seeded in a tournament that leads to the Championship Game on July 17. Each team will play at least five games.

    ESPN and NBA TV will bring fans all the action from NBA Summer League 2017 in July. A complete broadcast and game schedule will be released at a later date.

    Below is a complete list of teams that will participate in NBA Summer League 2017, along with their overall record at Summer League and years of participation.

    I went last year and it's the best deal. Tickets are $35 and the seats are first come, first serve.

    You can stay for all games that day (about 4 or 5 games per day).

    Great time and I just bought my plane tickets. So if you plan on going, let me know and I'll buy you the beverage of your choice.

    At the games? I'll be there Friday and Saturday and maybe Sunday morning (if the Lakers are playing). I'll buy until you can't stand any more. If we're at the casino, I'll put $1 on black and $1 on red and let you drink until the coma is induced. HA HA

    :Headbang:

    Wish I could take you up on the games to see and especially lots of free beers. Hope you can take some pics with camera or phone.

    Rule of thirds, don't split the horizon in middle, shoot something decent, focus.

    We're going to have Zubac, Ingram, Nwaba, and Ball.

    And we'll probably still lose like we usually do. :D

    Had plans to go last year but things came up. Hopefully will make it this year. The hype around us last year was insane, wonder if it will happen again.

    It was definitely a Laker crowd. If you do go, be sure to buy tickets early. I think it'll sell out this year.

    I'm pretty sure if we do draft Ball, it'll be crazy at summer league, it'll be on ESPN hyped up. Hopefully Lavar goes to the games too hahaha

    I'm planning a vacation to LA around July 12th, so depending on the dates, I might be able to drive a few hours out to Vegas to catch a game.

    Tickets are on sale now.

    Courtside are $400 (that's all games that day. not a bad deal).

    General Admission (first come, first serve) are $30. But with all the fees, it's $42. They even charge you to print at home.

    My friend said they were $25 last year. I thought they were about 30. It's those fees that I don't remember. $2.50 to print each ticket at home? Huh? The fees are almost the amount of the tickets. To have the tickets sent to your phone are $3.50 per ticket.

    The tickets say "$30 face value" and "$7.95 fees" but the receipt says $26 and $11.95 in fees. ?? Weird.

    All I know is 2 tickets, printed at home was $84.65. At the end of the day, a great price, but those hidden fees are ridiculous.

    Not yet. I bought for the first 2 days. Of course, I didn't buy courtside. That would suck to buy them for those days and they don't play.

    last year they played on Friday and Saturday, but there are more teams this year, so they might not play both days.

    I can't imagine we don't play during the first day of Summer League July 7th (Friday). It will most likely be on ESPN and at 5:00PM or 7:30PM PST.

    Please just NO.. Tom Penn calling the games like the last 2 years.
