Following the completion of the California Classic and Salt Lake City Summer League tournaments, all 30 teams will converge on Las Vegas for the NBA 2K24 Summer League, which tips off on Friday, July 7.

This year's Summer League will feature 76 games over 11 days at the Thomas & Mack Center and Cox Pavilion on the University of Nevada, Las Vegas campus. Each team is guaranteed to play five games — four preliminary-round games and one final game on either July 16 or 17.

The first four games will take place from July 7-14, with the top four teams advancing to the semifinals on Sunday, July 16. The championship game will be played on Monday, July 17.

Summer League presents an opportunity for players to impress coaches and secure final roster spots and two-way contracts heading into next season, as well as the first look at some of the highly-touted recruits following the 2023 NBA Draft.

All eyes will be on the top lottery selections in No. 1 overall pick Victor Wembanyama of the Spurs, No. 2 pick Brandon Miller of the Hornets and No. 3 pick Scoot Henderson of the Trail Blazers, as well as 2022 No. 2 overall pick Chet Holmgren of the Thunder. 

Viewers can watch all 76 games from Las Vegas across NBA TV and the ESPN family of networks.  

Who will be on the call for games airing on NBA TV and ESPN this year? Here's a rundown of the broadcast team on hand in Las Vegas.
