The main on-court event on the NBA summer calendar begins Thursday when the Las Vegas Summer League tips off from Sin City. There are seven games on Thursday's slate, including a matchup between Cooper Flagg's Dallas Mavericks and Bronny James' Los Angeles Lakers.

Cooper Flagg is set to make his NBA debut in the Summer League, and the Mavericks have big plans for their rookie star, including testing him at point guard. Find out what to expect from Flagg’s performance,

A 22-year-old guard out of Gonzaga, the Mavs signed Nembhard to a two-way contract following the 2025 NBA Draft. He’s almost a foot and a half smaller than Sharp at 6’0″, but Nembhard’s prowess as a play-maker could make him the perfect Summer League teammate for the 7’5″ center.
