Report: Summer League Gets Cancelled

Summer League is (reportedly) dead. Long live Summer League. Via the NY Daily News: “In two more signs that the NBA is gearing up for a lockout starting July 1, the league has scrubbed its annual Las Vegas summer league and has also scuttled its annual summer internship program, according to league sources. The Las Vegas summer league normally starts around July 9, with upwards of 20 teams, including the Knicks, sending little-used veteran players and rookies to compete over a 10-day period. Also, the NBA usually hires about 30 college students to participate in a 10-week internship program in the league’s offices in New York and at the league’s entertainment division in Secaucus, N.J. In preparing for a lockout, the NBA is also not sending any teams abroad for training camp, and did not schedule any preseason games in Europe for this fall.”
