The most anticipated on-court event on the summer basketball calendar begins Thursday as the Las Vegas Summer League gets started with a seven-game slate. The headlining matchup of the multi-week event from Sin City will feature No.

League continues on Saturday, July 12 with No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg and the Dallas Mavericks taking on No. 2 pick Dylan Harper and the San Antonio Spurs.

After the annual offseason Board of Governors meeting in Las Vegas, Commissioner Adam Silver held court on the state of the NBA.

Flagg's debut will signify a new era for Dallas basketball. It's been just over five months since the franchise traded cornerstone Luka Dončić to the Lakers in a deal that brought back star big man Anthony Davis.

Kevin Garnett wants to use his production company to give current NBA players a "script" for telling their own stories.
