Less than three days after the end of the 2016-17 NBA season, teams participating in the summer league, know their schedule for the July basketball tournament. As has been the case since 2015, there will be three summer leagues, in Orlando, Utah, and Las Vegas. Washington will again be participating in the largest of the tournaments in the Sin City.
Summer league teams usually showcase young talent, with players with zero or one year of experience the majority of participants.
The format of the tournament has changed over the years, but the current structure allows for a minimum of five games, three games and then at least two playoff games.
