The NBA's Summer League is returning to Las Vegas in 2021 and will run from Aug. 8-17, the league announced Wednesday.
All 30 of the league's teams will be in attendance, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.
The Memphis Grizzlies were crowned the Summer League champions in 2019. The event wasn't held during the shortened 2020 offseason due to the coronavirus pandemic.
With the upcoming draft pushed back from its usual place in late June to July 29, Summer League will represent the first opportunity for fans to see this year's top draft picks playing competitive basketball games in their teams' uniforms.
