The Brooklyn Nets are coming off a 2025 NBA Draft in which they shocked many around the league by the way that they went about the first round. Brooklyn did not make the decisions that many expected them to heading into the Draft, but with five new rookies to incorporate into the roster, it is now known when Nets fans will get to see them play.
The NBA announced on Friday the entire schedule for the upcoming 2025 Las Vegas Summer League that will be happening from July 10 to July 20 to give a glimpse at some of the young players of the future. The Nets will be playing four times: July 10 against the Oklahoma City Thunder, July 13 against the Washington Wizards, July 15 against the New York Knicks, and July 16 against the Orlando Magic.
As of this writing, it hasn't been announced what Brooklyn's summer league roster will be, but it's safe to assume that the five first-round picks will be on the roster. There is also the possibility that Alabama forward Grant Nelson will be on the roster after HoopsHype's Michael Scotto reported on Thursday that Nelson will compete for one of the Two-Way spots in training camp.
Over the course of their summer league schedule, the Nets will be facing some interesting players like Wizards guard Tre Johnson, the only 2025 Lottery pick that Brooklyn will be facing on the slate. The Nets' summer league team last season was coached by assistant Steve Hetzel so it will be interesting to see if he assumes the mantle this time around.
The summer league is more important for the Nets than most teams given that they are still in the early stages of their rebuild and are hoping that some of the young players on the roster will show signs of stardom in Las Vegas, Nevada. For example, Brooklyn selected BYU guard Egor Demin with the eighth overall pick in the Draft so Vegas will be the first chance for everyone to see what he can do at the NBA level.
