The NBA’s Las Vegas Summer League kicks off Friday with five former UConn Huskies, all recruited and coached by Dan Hurley, in action on opening day.
James Bouknight’s summer has already gotten started. His Charlotte Hornets lost both of their games in the California Classic, held July 3-5 in Sacramento.
Bouknight played 25 minutes and scored 12 points on 4-of-7 shooting in a loss to San Antonio (playing without 2023 top pick Victor Wembanyama), and followed it up with six points on an off-shooting night — though he did pull down six rebounds — in Charlotte’s defeat to Golden State on Wednesday.
