Sacramento is playing a big role in this year's NBA summer league.
In fact, the city is kicking off summer action. The three-day California Classic will begin at Golden 1 Center next Monday, continuing July 3 and July 5. (Perhaps players and fans will celebrate the off-day by taking in a fireworks show near the Tower Bridge.)
The Classic will feature doubleheaders showcasing the Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat and, of course, the Kings. The standard summer league continues July 6 in Las Vegas, and runs through July 17.
Of course, before any games begin, the Kings will need to put together their team.
