While Vernon Carey Jr., Nick Richards and Grant Riller already have a year of NBA experience under their belts, this weekend will mark the first time these three will have the opportunity to participate in Summer League starting on Sunday evening against Portland.
This trio plus Nate Darling all missed out on the chance to participate in the Las Vegas-based competition as rookies last year due to complications stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. Darling – the only one in this group who also went undrafted – unfortunately won’t be able to participate again this time around because of a recent knee injury.
