SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – The Utah Jazz announced the upcoming Summer League, which teams will be participating and a name change.
When the Jazz brought Summer League back, it was known as “Utah Jazz Summer League” but has now changed the name to “Salt Lake City Summer League.”
The games will be played at Vivint Smart Home Arena on July 1, 2 and 3. The Jazz will welcome the San Antonio Spurs, Memphis Grizzlies and Cleveland Cavaliers to a four-team, six-game event.
All of the games will be played on a modified city edition court.
“Salt Lake City loves basketball and has a tremendous year-round hoops community. Summer is no exception as evident by our record attendance last year,” said Jonathan Rinehart, summer league executive director. “We seek to capture the essence of summer with its casual, accessible and fun atmosphere. The downtown location uniquely merges professional sports, entertainment amenities and a world-class facility for the public and participating teams to enjoy.”
Cleveland finished with the third worst record in the NBA this past season and is projected to have a top three pick in the upcoming NBA Draft. The Memphis Grizzlies will be selecting in the lottery.
