The NBA draft is done, the temperature is rising, and you know what that means: NBA Summer League games are here. During this summer offseason, all 30 teams will hit the court for games across Las Vegas, Sacramento and Salt Lake City. The 2023 NBA summer season is stirring up some extra buzz due to one new 7-foot-4 San Antonio Spurs player in particular: Victor Wembanyama. And while it hasn’t been announced yet when the French player plans to make his post-draft NBA debut, the Spurs are set to play on opening day of the California Classic Summer League and the NBA 2K24 Summer League, so it won’t be long until Wembanyama hits the court.
Ready to kick back, relax and watch some basketball this summer? Here’s how to watch NBA Summer League games, including where to stream basketball without cable and the full schedule for the NBA 2K24 Summer League, California Classic Summer League and the Salt Lake City Summer League.
