WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – A trio of former Boilermakers will begin play in the NBA Summer League this week, starting tonight in Salt Lake City.
Zach Edey, Lance Jones and Dakota Mathias will all suit up this week in hopes of securing roster spots or training camp invites with strong play over the next 12 days.
It is not known whether or not if Jaden Ivey will play in Summer League this season. The Detroit Pistons have not announced their Summer League roster yet.
Edey, the No. 9 pick in the NBA Draft by the Memphis Grizzlies, opens Summer League play tonight (July 8) when the Grizzlies face Utah at 9 p.m. ET, on ESPN, as part of the Salt Lake City Summer League schedule. They will play the 76ers on Tuesday, at 7 p.m. ET, on ESPN, then the Thunder on Wednesday, at 7 p.m. ET on NBATV.
The Grizzlies will then head to Las Vegas and face the Kings at 6 p.m. ET, on Friday on NBATV, to start play in Vegas. The Grizzlies will play on Monday, July 15, Wednesday, July 17, and Thursday, July 18, before bracket play begins.
Edey became Purdue's second top-10 selection in the last three years after Ivey was picked No. 5 in the 2022 NBA Draft. Only Kentucky (4), Connecticut (2) and Purdue (2) have had multiple top-10 picks in the last three Drafts.
