As Trajan Langdon and the Detroit Pistons’ front office try to wheel and deal throughout July, some of the young players on the team will be getting their first taste of NBA action.
NBA Summer League is less than a week away and Pistons fans are eager to see their newest draft picks and likely some more familiar names in Las Vegas.
Here is everything you need to know.
When is NBA Summer League?
NBA Summer League begins on July 12th, 2024 and the final game will be on July 22nd.
All games will be held in Las Vegas in the Pavillion or the Thomas and Mack Center.

Pistons Summer League roster
The official Summer League rosters have not yet been released, but we can guess that new draftees Ron Holland and Bobi Klintman will be on the team as well as recent two-way signee Daniss Jenkins.
Beyond that, it is anyone’s guess and it will be interesting to see if some of the other young players take part. I’d expect to see Ausar Thompson, Marcus Sasser and Jalen Duren for at least a game or two and it’s possible we’ll see Jaden Ivey in a limited capacity as well.
Given how little the young players have played together, it wouldn’t be the worst idea to get them all out there, though we definitely won’t see the newly-extended Cade Cunningham in action.
If both Holland and Thompson are on the team as is expected, we should see some highlight reel dunks to help get us through the long summer.
