It may be unclear who the Charlotte Hornets will draft No. 2 overall later this month, but one thing is certain: they’ll be California Dreamin’ in July.
For the first time in franchise history, the Hornets will make an appearance at the California Classic Summer League in Sacramento, which is scheduled for July 3-5 at Golden 1 Center. They open up against San Antonio and expected top overall pick Victor Wembanyama on July 3 before matching up with Golden State on July 5. Both games will be televised by ESPN.
Along with the Hornets, Spurs and Warriors — Sacramento, Miami and the Los Angeles Lakers are also part of the expanded field at the classic, which precedes the annual Las Vegas Summer League.
