The 2025 NBA Draft has officially come and gone, which means that the NBA 2K26 Summer League is next up on the agenda, a chance for Nuggets fans to see their young prospects in action for the first time before the season gets underway. The NBA just released the schedule for the entire league, with the Nuggets playing in four games in the span of a week down in Las Vegas.

The Nuggets’ first game tips off on July 10 against the against the Milwaukee Bucks at 7:30 p.m. Denver time (all times listed will be Denver-based). It will be broadcast on NBATV. The second contest takes place two days later on the 12th against the Minnesota Timberwolves. That game will also be on NBATV with an 8:00 p.m. start time. The third is on July 15 against the Toronto Raptors at 6:00 p.m., but fans will need an ESPN+ subscription to watch that matchup. The final outing is on the 17th against the LA Clippers on ESPN2, a very late 9:00 p.m. tipoff.
This will be Nuggets’ fans first chance to see Curtis Jones and Tamar Bates in action, two players who the new front office picked up once the draft came to a conclusion on Thursday night. The most notable player on the floor will be DaRon Holmes II, who is confirmed to be playing in Vegas after he ruptured his Achilles there a year ago. In his 25 minutes of action, he had 11 points and seven rebounds, and knocked down all three of his shots from distance. While the official roster and coaching staff have not been announced, these three should see plenty of time on the floor.
For the four teams who the Nuggets are squaring off against, there likely won’t be a lot of high-profile talent on the floor. The Raptors should have top-10 pick Collin Murray-Broyles and national champion Alijah Martin in action, but the other three opponents didn’t make many splashes in the draft. The Bucks took a flier on Bogoljub Marković, a Serbian center, the Clippers got Kobe Sanders out of Nevada late in the second round and the Wolves didn’t draft any household names to college basketball fans.
These are just the games for the summer league that takes place down in Las Vegas, the one that first comes to mind. The schedules for the Orlando, Salt Lake, and California Classic leagues have not been announced.
