As summer progresses, attention turns to the NBA 2K26 Summer League. The event is set to tip off with games in Salt Lake City and the California Classic in San Francisco this Saturday, before the primary action moves to Las Vegas starting July 10.
Significant focus will be on the highly anticipated professional debut of number one draft pick Cooper Flagg with the Dallas Mavericks this July. Flagg and his team are scheduled to begin their Summer League journey with a notable matchup against a Los Angeles Lakers squad that once again includes Bronny James (July 10, 8 p.m. ET, ESPN).
The Mavericks` schedule features several prominent games, including contests against the San Antonio Spurs with number two pick Dylan Harper (July 12, 4 p.m. ET, ESPN), the Charlotte Hornets featuring number four pick Kon Knueppel (July 14, 6:30 p.m. ET, NBA TV), and the Philadelphia 76ers led by number three pick VJ Edgecombe (July 16, 8 p.m. ET, ESPN).
Dylan Harper is also slated to play against his former Rutgers teammate, Ace Bailey (the fifth pick), when the Spurs face the Utah Jazz on July 14 (8:30 p.m. ET, NBA TV).
The Summer League will culminate with the championship game on July 20 (10 p.m. ET, ESPN), concluding two weeks of competitive play. Before then, stay updated on the latest roster changes and developments as these young teams take the court.
