The Atlanta Hawks kick off their 2023 Las Vegas Summer League campaign last tonight against the Sacramento Kings. This will be the first chance for Atlanta to show off a number of new and returning players in an NBA-like environment.
Sacramento already participated in the California Classic earlier this month, and so there may be different measures of rest and load management for the more veteran players. For example, news has already dropped that the 2022 fourth overall pick and reigning Summer League MVP, Keegan Murray, doesn’t appear set to defend his title after a successful California Classic stint.
