The Detroit Pistons have set the schedule for their first four games of Las Vegas Summer League, which kicks off on July 9. The team will be led by first-round pick Eubuka Okorie, and his offensive skillset seems made in a lab to dominate Summer League competition, so hopefully, we’ll have some enjoyable games to watch. Second-round pick Ugonna Onyenso is also expected to suit up for the Pistons.
The slate is as follows (all times Eastern):
July 9 at 5:30 p.m.: Pistons vs. 76ers (Prime Video)
July 12 at 4 p.m.: Pistons vs. Cavaliers (Prime)
July 13 at 4 p.m.: Pistons vs. Knicks (Prime)
July 15 at 6 p.m.: Pistons vs. Suns (ESPN U)
If you’re thinking about marquee matchups, this is a fairly limited slate for Detroit. Okorie will face off against fellow first-round pick Labaron Philon Jr. in the opener against the Sixers. They will face second-round pick Meleek Thomas and the Cavs in game 2. The Knicks’ newest addition is Jack Kayil (feel the excitement!). Finally, the Suns will be welcoming Koa Peat to the fold.
Each team is slated to play at least five games, with the final games determined by teams that are eligible to meet in the semi-finals, featuring four teams. All other fifth games will be consolation prizes. Then, the two semi-final winners will face off for the the championship game on July 19. That last one is for the true basketball sickos.
As far as who will make up the rest of the roster, I imagine we will see Chaz Lanier, last year’s second-rounder suit up. He will be joined by Jaden Henley, who recently inked an Exhibit 10 deal with the Pistons as part of a Las Vegas invite. He is a 6-foot-7 wing most recently of Grand Canyon. The Pistons also signed Corey Stephenson to an Exhibit 10 deal. He is a forward most recently from Florida International University.
