This is the last year that there won’t be constant professional basketball in the Bay Area through the summer. When the summer of 2025 rolls around, we’ll all get to watch the Golden State Valkyries, who will play in their inaugural WNBA season through the warmest San Francisco months, giving us professional basketball to root for all year long.
Until that happens, the only summer basketball we get is Summer League. But damn ... Summer League sure can be fun, right?
Las Vegas is the star of Summer League, but before that action begins, we get the first dose of Summer League hoops: the California Classic.
