History

Historical Context

Starting as the Shaw’s Pro Summer League in 1999 at UMass Boston under the Boston Celtics, the off-season showcase folded after the 2004 Democratic National Convention. Warren LeGarie then shifted eight teams to Las Vegas’s Thomas & Mack Center, creating the NBA Summer League that evaluates rookies. In 2026 the Celtics beat the Kings 82-76, with Sacramento managing only four points in the first quarter.
