History

Historical Context

The NBA’s Las Vegas Summer League began in 2004 at UNLV’s Thomas & Mack Center with six teams—Boston, Cleveland, Denver, Orlando, Phoenix and Washington—playing 13 games. That first unbranded event introduced a summer showcase that later became the NBA-named league in 2007 and today serves as a primary scouting venue for franchises such as the Pistons and Cavaliers.
