Utah Jazz’s Royce O'Neale sees importance of free summer camp in Texas hometown to ‘show love for my city’

SALT LAKE CITY — As a member of the Utah Jazz, Royce O’Neale spends the majority of his time in Salt Lake City.

But deep down, he’s a Killeen, Texas, boy at heart and isn’t ashamed of his upbringing.

So much so that on Saturday, July 27, he’s bringing a free summer basketball camp to his alma mater, Harker Heights High School, for kids in grades 3-12.

“For myself it’s important, because growing up I think going to the gyms and playing with older players, they gave me advice and told me to pursue my dreams,” O’Neale told the Deseret News.
