The NBA today announced that the Memphis Grizzlies will be one of 24 teams participating in the Samsung NBA Summer League 2016 in Las Vegas. The event will run from July 8-18 at the Thomas & Mack Center and COX Pavilion on the campus of the University of Nevada Las Vegas.
This marks Memphis’ seventh appearance at the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas (2007-10, 2012-13, 2016). The Grizzlies competed each of the past two years at the Orlando Pro Summer League, reaching the finals both times and winning the championship last summer.
Twenty-three teams and a team of NBA Development League select players will participate in a tournament-style format to crown this year’s Samsung NBA Summer League Champion.
