Free agency is in full swing now and in a week we’ll actually be seeing some NBA basketball.
The Celtics kick off their 2024 Summer League schedule in Las Vegas next Saturday and Here is the band Which will be in sin city:

27 | Jordan Walsh | F | 6-7 | 205 | 03/04/04 | Arkansas / USA | Arkansas (NCAA) |
Most notable on the list are Jordan Walsh, who was selected 38th overall by the Celtics in the 2023 NBA draft, and J.D. Davison, a second-round pick last year who spent the season on a dual contract between the Boston and Maine Celtics.
“Watch the guys like [Marcus] tasty, [Davison is] More talkative guy at the gym, every single day. So just watching a guy like him and being his backup helped me a lot,” assistant coach said Tony Dobbins.
Justin Champagne will also join the team after signing with the Celtics at the end of the regular season.
There are some glaring absences. Mfiondu Kabengele starred on The Strip and secured a two-way deal last year, but he won’t be with the Celtics next week. Also, Boston’s top drag and drop players Yam Madar and Juhann Begarin aren’t making the U.S. side trip for the summer show. Finally, it will be Assistant Coach Dobbins who handles Summer C coaching — not the older Assistant Head Coach Charles Lee or Sam Cassell.
Boston will face a host of Summer League rivalry games:
Saturday, July 8: 3 p.m. vs. Miami Heat (NBA TV)
Sunday, July 9: 730 p.m. vs. Washington Wizards (NBA TV)
Wednesday, July 12: 10 p.m. vs. Los Angeles Lakers (ESPN2)
Friday, July 14th: 7 p.m. vs. New York Knicks (ESPN2)
