DENVER (KDVR) — Denver Nuggets fans have basked in NBA championship glory for a few weeks now, but it’s already time to gear up for next season.
The Nuggets announced the 2023 Summer League roster and schedule this week. The games are set for July 7-17 at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas campus, but fans have options to watch them from home.
Each NBA team will play at least five games in the summer league. After each team plays four games, the leading four will advance to the playoffs, which culminate in a championship matchup. The teams that don’t make the championship round will play a fifth game in the meantime.
