OKC Thunder to officially participate in 2023 Salt Lake City summer league

The Utah Jazz announced they will host their eighth consecutive summer league this July, and four teams, including the Oklahoma City Thunder, will participate.

The four teams are the Thunder, Jazz, Philadelphia 76ers and Memphis Grizzlies. All four will play each other during the Salt Lake City summer league from July 3 to July 6.

This will be the second consecutive season the Thunder participated in Utah’s summer league. Thunder general manager Sam Presti confirmed OKC’s attendance during his end-of-season press conference.

There is a chance Chet Holmgren suits up for this summer league. Presti noted it’s possible he plays in July after missing the entire 2022-23 season due to a Lisfranc injury that required multiple foot surgeries.

“More reps, different environments, more opportunities,” Presti said on playing a second summer league. “The hard part is you just can’t play everybody the whole time because the schedule is pretty grueling. But our guys played — they soaked it up last year. We had to take a couple guys off the floor because they were just toast by the end. I think it’s great for us to do that. I’m a fan of doing that.”

The Thunder also will participate in Las Vegas’ league-wide summer league from July 7 to July 17. This means the Thunder will have games every other day for two weeks, from July 3 to July 17.
