The Brooklyn Nets will open their NBA Summer League run in Las Vegas on July 10, per the league’s schedule released Friday. The schedule lists four games, but each team is guaranteed to play five games.
Here’s the schedule:
July 10 vs. the Thunder (5:30 p.m, ET, ESPN2),
July 13 vs. the Wizards (8:00 p.m, ET, ESPN2),
July 15 vs. the Knicks (6:00 p.m. ET, ESPN2)
July 16 against Magic (7:30 p.m, ET, ESPN)
First two games will be played at the Thomas & Mack Center, the second two at Cox Pavilion on the campus of UNLV, Las Vegas the NBA announced. Following the first four games, teams will enter a tournament to crown the league winner.
The Nets are expected to field a team that will focus on their five first round picks — Egor Demin, Nolan Traore, Drake Powell, Ben Saraf and Danny Wolf. All but Saraf were in Brooklyn by Friday for team portraits. The 6’6” Israeli point guard had finished up his commitment to Ratiopharm Ulm on Thursday night...
In addition, at least one of the Nets 2023 first round picks, Dariq Whitehead, is expected to be on hand. As we’ve reported, Brooklyn is also bringing in at least two undrafted players, 6’11” PF Grant Nelson of Alabama and 6’5” wing T.J. Bamba of Oregon. How many of the Nets young free agents will travel to Vegas is yet uncertain, but Drew Timme told Isabela Gonzalez of CBS Sports that he will be playing for Brooklyn...
Brooklyn Nets forward and former Gonzaga star Drew Timme told me he will be joining the Las Vegas Summer League roster.
"I'm still trying to make it and stay in it. It was cool to make it, but you know, it can also get taken away at any moment too, just as it got given.”

The Nets have until Sunday to exercise Timme’s team option for next season, but even if they don’t, he can still play for them. The team also has to decide team options on Tyrese Martin, Keon Johnson and Jalen Wilson as well as on an extension for Max Lewis.
Last year, the Nets made the Final Four and Wilson, who averaged 21 points again was named MVP. It was the second time in three years that a Nets player had won the award. Cam Thomas was co-MVP in 2021, averaging 27.
