This month, Salt Lake City lights up with hoops hype as the NBA Summer League returns, bringing rising stars, first-round draft picks, and hungry rookies to the court to make their mark. With three key summer league locations—Sacramento, Las Vegas, and right here in Salt Lake City—our city is once again in the national spotlight.
The NBA Summer League is often fans’ first chance to see the league’s newest draft picks showcase their skills and watch future stars prove they belong in the league. It’s a proving ground for talent, a sneak peek at rosters, and a preview of the next NBA season—all in one.

Salt Lake’s NBA Summer League Legacy
Now in its 10th year, the NBA Summer League is a big win for Salt Lake City and hoops fans alike. It draws players, coaches, media, and fans from across the country, giving a major post-season boost to local businesses—ours included. For many of these players, it’s their first taste of Utah, giving Salt Lake City a chance to shine.
Utahns love basketball, and hosting a leg of the Summer League cements Salt Lake City’s place on the national basketball map. Not only is the NBA Summer League a launching pad for young talent, but it also gives fans a rare chance to see top draft picks in action before they become household names and get a feel for the rookies who will shape the upcoming NBA season.
