History

Historical Context

After the NBA launched its first official summer league in Las Vegas in 2004, the league expanded to include the Utah Jazz’s own Summer League in 2015, replacing the Rocky Mountain Revue that ran from 1984 to 2008. The July 2026 overtime win over Atlanta continued this tradition, giving rookies Darryn Peterson and Cody Williams a stage that now features 32 teams in the Las Vegas event.
