While the 2024-'25 NBA season was completed last month, there's no shortage of professional basketball during the summer months.

The NBA Summer League tipped off its season on July 5 as some of the league's young stars and G League players compete for a championship and for many, a potential roster spot on their respective teams.

All eyes will be on Dallas Mavericks' No. 1 overall pick Cooper Flagg as he's beginning his professional basketball career. LeBron James' son, Bronny James, will also have the attention of many as he continues his development with the Los Angeles Lakers.
