The NBA draft is now in the books, and while free agency doesn’t start until next week, we’ve already begun peeking at is pages. That means NBA Summer League, and our next chance to get a tangible look at the Nets, is right around the corner.
Friday morning, Brooklyn announced the first four of the five game’s they’ll play in Las Vegas, starting in the second week of July. The schedule includes the following:
- July 10th vs New York @ 6 PM ET
- July 11th vs Atlanta @ 8 PM ET
- July 14th vs Sacramento @ 6 PM ET
- July 16 vs Houston @ 4:30 PM ET
The Nets will also have three games before the traditional Summer League tournament in Sacramento.
They were announced in late April and include:
- July 4th vs Sacramento @ 5 PM ET
- July 5th vs Milwaukee Bucks @ 3 PM ET
- July 6th vs Golden State Warriors @ 8 PM ET
With games against the Kings in each slate, we’ll get two head-to-head looks at Mikel Brown Jr. vs Darius Acuff. The two guards going back-to-back has stirred a noteworthy amount of debate across the past few days regarding who’ll have the better career. These games could be the first chapters in a budding cross conference rivalry. The pair did square off at the collegiate level and in high school once as well.
All of Brooklyn’s games in Sacramento will be television on the YES Network, while the Vegas games will be split between ESPN, ESPN U, and Amazon Prime. We’re told summer league roster is expected to practice this Tuesday or Wednesday at HSS Training Center before departing for Sacramento.
