The Las Vegas NBA Summer League is an official summer league of the
NBA—the sixteenth year it has been held. The league played games across two venues: the
Thomas and Mack Center and
Cox Pavilion, both located in
Paradise, Nevada, which is
near Las Vegas.
Format Five games were played between all 30 NBA teams from July 7 to 17. Each team played a total of five games. The top two teams from their first four games played in the Championship Game on July 17. Seeding for the Championship Game was determined by winning percentage considering tiebreakers. The 28 teams not playing in the Championship Game played a fifth game on either July 16 or 17. Consolation games were determined by various factors, including team rivalries, broadcast interest, and other scheduling considerations (e.g., timing of back-to-backs).
Tiebreak criteria 1. Two Teams Tied - In the case of a tie in preliminary round records involving only two teams, the following criteria, in order, were utilized: • Head-to-head matchup: The team that won the game between the two teams in the preliminary round, if applicable, receives the higher seed. • Point differential: The team with the greater point differential receives the higher seed. • Random drawing: The higher seed shall be determined by a “coin flip.” 2. More Than Two Teams Tied - In the case of a tie in preliminary round records involving more than two teams, the following criteria, in order, were utilized: • Point differential: The team with the greater point differential receives the higher seed. • Random drawing: The higher seed shall be determined by a “coin flip.”
