The last time the Salt Lake City Summer League was played was in 2019. It was canceled as was all the summer leagues in the NBA in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Basketball is back this summer in Salt Lake City in a casual, affordable and fun atmosphere at Vivint Arena,” said Jonathan Rinehart, summer league executive director. “We are excited to watch the younger players from two Jazz teams along with the Grizzlies and Spurs play in daily doubleheaders. Summer hoops are a great tradition in Utah and a wonderful community event.”
The schedule for the games, along with radio and TV broadcast details will be provided at a later date. Two important events will take place first with the NBA Draft Lottery being held on June 22 and the NBA Draft on July 29.
The young players for the Jazz in the Summer League will get more experience with the team planning on participating in the MGM Resorts NBA Summer League 2021 from August 8-17 at the Thomas & Mack Center and Cox Pavilion on the campus of UNLV.
