WELCOME TO 2017 NBA SUMMER LEAGUE! We get DAYTIME BASKETBALL for nearly three straight weeks, and there ain’t nothing wrong with that.
There are three Summer Leagues this year: Orlando (July 1-6), Utah (July 3-6), and Las Vegas (July 7-17), but for now, we’re only focused on the eight team Orlando league. Two former Marquette Golden Eagles will be playing in that setup: Henry Ellenson with the Detroit Pistons and Dwight Buycks with the Dallas Mavericks.
Ellenson will clearly get a featured role with the Pistons in Orlando as Detroit looks to get the Rice Lake native minutes against something resembling quality competition.
