A few hours earlier, No. 3 pick Scoot Henderson of the Portland Trail Blazers and No. 4 pick Amen Thompson of the Houston Rockets square-off in the opening game (7 p.m. ET).
In an exciting twist, Amen’s twin brother, Ausar Thompson (No. 5), will join in the action for Detroit Pistons, creating a battle between the siblings on July 9 (6 p.m. ET, ESPN2).

Key Players To Look For
The stage is set for the upcoming NBA 2K24 Summer League in Las Vegas! Basketball fans around the world will have their eyes on Victor Wembanyama, the #1 overall pick of the Spurs, as he makes his official debut with the team after missing out on summer hoops before in Sacramento.
It’s fitting that his debut should come in Las Vegas; last October, during a pair of exhibition games between Metropolitans 92 and the G League Ignite, Wembanyama made a lasting impression with a dominant 37-point performance featuring seven 3-pointers and five blocked shots against Scott Henderson (28 points) and the Ignite team.
This year’s NBA2K 24 Summer League will be an opportunity to watch all of this year’s first-round picks make their NBA journey. There’s no limit to which players could emerge as standouts – from lottery picks previewing what’s ahead this season to undrafted hopefuls looking to earn a roster spot – so be sure to keep an eye on NBA.com for highlights of all the action!
