NBA's 2025 summer league set for July 10-20 in Las Vegas
NBA's 2025 summer league set for July 10-20 in Las Vegas Assuming the Rockets keep their No. 10 overall draft pick, the rookie could make his Houston debut at the NBA's 2025 summer league in July.
The Houston Rockets will once again participate in the NBA 2K Summer League, which takes place this year from July 10-20, 2025, at the Thomas & Mack Center and Pavilion on the campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
The league's 2025 offseason schedule also includes brief tournaments at the Salt Lake City Summer League and California Classic. However, the Rockets are not among the four teams listed to participate in either of those events.
All 30 NBA teams play in the Las Vegas experience, which typically consists of at least five games, per team. The complete schedule, rosters, and broadcast information will be announced in June, with tickets available by visiting NBAEvents.com.
Summer rosters are largely comprised of younger players who are looking to turn heads. Some are recent draft picks who are angling for rotation roles in the upcoming season, while others are fighting for G League developmental opportunities.
For the Rockets, players from recent draft classes who could be featured include second-year guard Reed Sheppard and third-year wing prospect Cam Whitmore. Houston also currently holds the No. 10 overall selection in the 2025 NBA draft — and if the Rockets keep the pick, the summer showcase would be the first time for that rookie to play in a Houston jersey.
The summer-league schedule is not typically released until after each year's draft, since the league decides matchups and television windows in large part based on where the incoming rookie class is drafted. So, stay tuned! The 2025 first round takes place on June 25.
Shortly after the draft, each team will finalize its complete summer-league roster and hold a mini-camp in its home market to practice for the games in Las Vegas.
Garrett Jackson, an assistant to head coach Ime Udoka with the Rockets, took over the head-coaching duties for Houston at the NBA's 2024 summer league. Ben Sullivan drew that assignment in 2023, when the Rockets advanced to the summer-league championship game.
For 2025, Houston's summer-league head coach has yet to be publicly named.

Heated Incident Between Former NBA Stars Turns Heads on Friday
Heated Incident Between Former NBA Stars Turns Heads on Friday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Two former NBA players got into an altercation during the Greek Basketball league on Friday. Boston Celtics alum Evan Fournier got into it with Los Angeles Lakers alum Kendrick Nunn. Advertisement Among other teams, Fournier played for the Celtics for half a season in 2021, while Nunn played for the Lakers from 2021 to 2023. Fournier has not been in the NBA since 2024, while Nunn has not been in the NBA since 2023. Fournier currently plays for Olympiacos B.C., while Nunn plays for Panathinaikos. During their matchup against one another, Nunn excessively fouled Fournier as the latter was going up for a shot. Fournier took exception to it, but teammates separated them before things escalated. Fournier was then ejected from the game for an obscene gesture, but didn't stop Olympiacos B.C. from winning the game. As this incident has gained attention on social media, people began reacting around the basketball world. Advertisement One big name who commented was Los Angeles Clippers free agent Nicolas Batum, who wrote, "This series is absolutely insane 🍿 It was only Game 3 😂" Other fans had reactions to it too. "Fournier submarined Nun, most of you commenting have never played the game in your life," said one. "Dirty foul," said another. "Oh he was about to get active," one added. For even more context, this happened during the Greek League Finals. With the victory, Olympiacos B.C. is up 2-1. Game 4 will be on June 8, as this series is best-of-five. This was also not the first time there's been some tension between the two sides, as both teams agreed to have both owners not attend each other's games, per BasketNews.

CLEVELAND -- Jeremy Peña had three hits to extend his hitting streak to 12 games, Colton Gordon got his first major league win and the Houston Astros defeated the Cleveland Guardians 4-2 on Friday night. Christian Walker drove in a pair of runs in the fifth inning and Brendan Rodgers added a solo shot in the sixth as the Astros improved to 3-1 on their six-game road trip. Gordon (1-1), who was making his fifth start, allowed one run on seven hits and struck out five. The left-hander was an eighth-round pick in the 2021 amateur draft. Josh Hader recorded his 17th save, tied for second in the American League. David Fry homered for the Guardians, who have dropped three of four. Carlos Santana had his 14-game hitting streak snapped. It is the second hitting streak this season of at least 10 games for Peña. The shortstop is batting .449 (22 of 49) with three home runs and six RBIs during his current run. Houston took the lead with three runs in the fifth off Cleveland starter Logan Allen (3-4). Peña scored from second on a deep infield single by Jose Altuve and Walker drove in a pair with a base hit to right. Cleveland had a chance to do some damage in the first inning, but Angel Martínez and José Ramírez were thrown out at second by Houston left fielder Mauricio Dubón when they tried to extend base hits into doubles. Dubón joined Toronto's Addison Barger as outfielders with a pair of assists in one inning this season. Houston's struggles with the bases loaded continues. The Astros were 0 for 2 Friday night and are last in the majors with a .146 batting average. Houston RHP Hunter Brown (8-3, 1.83 ERA) is tied for the AL lead in wins. Cleveland will go with RHP Gavin Williams (5-3, 3.79 ERA). ___
