Summer league

The Miami Heat now have the schedules for both their Sacramento and Las Vegas summer leagues. They also have their coach for those three weeks.

The NBA on Tuesday released the schedule for the NBA Summer League 2018 in Las Vegas, with all 30 teams to be represented in the 12-day, 82-game event.

The Las Vegas league opens with a three-game preliminary-round schedule, with teams then guaranteed a minimum of at least two additional games in the tournament bracket.

NBA summer leagues generally feature draft picks, undrafted free agents and young prospects, with teams often mixing in returning players with minimal NBA experience. Among possibilities for the Heat's summer rosters could be 2017-18 twoway players Derrick Walton Jr. and Derrick Jones Jr., as well as possibly 2017 first-round pick Bam Adebayo. Among those who have participated in summer-league play for the Heat in recent years have been Tyler Johnson, Justise Winslow, Josh Richardson, Adebayo and Okaro White.

The Heat's summer program will be coached by video coordinator Eric Glass, the team recently confirmed. Assistant coach Chris Quinn guided the Heat's summer roster last year, when the Heat fielded teams in summer leagues in Orlando and Las Vegas.

The Heat are scheduled open play in the Las Vegas league July 8 against the New Orleans Pelicans at the smaller of the two utilized venues at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, Cox Pavilion, with that game at 5 p.m. on NBA TV.

The playoff bracket then will be held from July 11 through the championship game on July 17.
