The NBA announced for the second straight year all 30 teams will be participating in the Las Vegas Summer League. This year, however, the Croatian and Chinese national teams will also join, making it a total of 32 participants.
The 15th annual Las Vegas Summer League is set to take place from July 5-15 at the Thomas and Mack Center and Cox Pavilion at the UNLV campus. To account for the record number of teams, the 11-day, 83-game tournament is changing its format.
Instead of every team making the playoffs after the three preliminary games, each team will now play four preliminary games, but only the top eight teams will make the playoffs.
