Barely a week after the start of free agency, the United States is back in action with the first of the summer leagues, the California Classic Summer League. It takes place in San Francisco and Sacramento from July 6 to 10, and involves eight teams: the Heat, the Hornets, the Warriors, the Spurs, the Lakers, the Kings (with two teams) and China.
HAS Sacramentowe will find the Spurs, the Hornets, the Chinese national team and the Kings. Chase Center In San Francisco, there will be the Lakers, the Heat, the Warriors and a second team of the Kings. As with the Summer League games in Las Vegas, quarters are 10 minutes long, not 12.
Among the various squads, we note the presence of seven French players with Tidjane Salaün (Hornets), Armel Traoré and Mohamed Diarra (Lakers), Neal Sako (Heat), Lucas Dufeal and Yves Pons (Kings) and Sidy Cissoko (Spurs). Note that Salaün is rested, and that he will not play with the Hornets.
The big attraction of the tournament will obviously be the presence of Bronny James on the Lakers side. See you at the Chase Center on Saturday, at 10:30 p.m. French time, and it will be against the 2nd team of the Kings, with Yves Pons.
