After this week, the Sacramento Kings now have a lot of young players to be excited about. The 2024 NBA Draft gifted them with the two-way guard Devin Carter. Then, they picked up Isaiah Crawford (a player I am really high on) and Isaac Jones on the undrafted market. On top of that, Colby Jones, the team’s second-year guard/wing, has had a few months to work on his game and has surely taken steps forward during that time.
With all that talent to look forward to, most fans are eagerly awaiting their first chance to watch these guys in action (or, in Jones’ case, their first chance since last season). So, when will that be?
Technically, fans’ first chance to view these guys will be during the 2024 California Classic Summer League, which takes place from July 6 to July 10 and takes place in Sacramento and San Fransisco. However, the main event – the 2024 Vegas Summer League – begins on Friday, July 12, and continues until Monday, July 22.
The Sacramento Kings Full Summer League Schedule
How the Vegas Summer League works is that each team plays four games (from July 12 to July 19). After that, the top four teams move on to a two-round tournament that is played on July 21 and July 22. Meanwhile, the 26 teams that did not advance will each play one final game on July 20 or July 21.
As of right now, we only know the Kings’ first four summer league games, as we won’t know the fifth (and potentially sixth) game(s) until everyone has played their first four games. Here are those first four games:
