ESPN is expanding its NBA coverage this July with a 98-game summer league schedule across ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU and ESPN3, emanating from three locations: Las Vegas, Orlando and Salt Lake City. The schedule is highlighted by the 25-game telecast schedule from Samsung NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, which tips off on ESPN with a prime-time doubleheader at 8:30 p.m. ET on Friday, July 8. This is ESPN's most extensive Summer League schedule ever.

ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU will combine to televise the 25 games from Las Vegas, with ESPN3 carrying an additional 42 games, bringing the Las Vegas total to all 67 games. The top 10 NBA DRAFT 2016 selections are scheduled to participate in Las Vegas, providing viewers with the first opportunity to watch the draftees play with their new teams.

ESPN NBA commentators in Las Vegas include play-by-play commentators Mark Jones, Chris Hassel and Alvaro Martin, and analysts Brad Daugherty, Jon Barry, Tom Penn and reporter Cassidy Hubbarth.

ESPN3's robust summer league schedule will also include 25 games from Orlando, Fla, beginning on Saturday, July 2, and another six games from Salt Lake City, beginning on Monday, July 4. All 98 summer league games will also be available on WatchESPN.
