Thursday's matchup will feature two players with something to prove: Dallas Mavericks forward Cooper Flagg and Los Angeles Lakers guard Bronny James.

Imagine telling someone 12 months ago that Cooper Flagg’s Summer League debut would come in a Mavericks jersey against Bronny James, while LeBron James might be eyeing a new team because the Lakers want to build around Luka Dončić.

Egor Demin is about to get his first taste of NBA action. The former BYU star will begin his Brooklyn Nets career at the NBA’s Las Vegas Summer League this week, with Game 1 coming Thursday afternoon against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
