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.

Per Front Office Sports, courtside seats for Wembanyama's sold-out Vegas Summer League opener approached $1,200 near game time, while Vivid Seats shared the average ticket cost $96, up from $86 in 2019, when New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson debuted.

Flagg's arrival has been the talk of Summer League. The 6-foot-8 Wooden Award winner, 18, will be joined on Dallas' offseason roster by two-way rookie point guard Ryan Nembhard and two-way shooting guard Miles Kelly, 2024-25 Mavericks rookie, and 7-foot-5 Texas Legends center Jamarion Sharp.
