Las Vegas Review Journal’s Mark Anderson writes on how 11 days of NBA Summer League has been a challenge to schedule, especially with 2 additional teams in China and Croatia, but overall has been a positive experience for everyone involved!

“Like an effective politician, Warren LeGarie constantly works the crowd. He shakes more hands during the 11-day Vegas Summer League at the Thomas &Mack Center and Cox Pavilion than a candidate searching for votes in Iowa.

And like any good pol, LeGarie makes sure to listen to his constituents, otherwise known as the NBA’s league office and its member teams. They were the ones that wanted to scale back the Summer League by a day after last year, and that created more of a scheduling challenge for LeGarie and his staff.

Whether the Summer League remains at 11 days or is tweaked again next year hasn’t been decided, but indications are the various parties like the current format.

“The general sense is it’s going really well,” NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said. “We’ve had some injuries, which are unfortunate, and some decisions for players not to play. It would be fun to have them out there. But I think generally as reflected in the attendance, as reflected in the ratings, we’re having a very good experience here in Las Vegas.”

All 30 NBA teams participated in the Summer League last year for the first time. That prompted the extension to 12 days. Though a record 139,972 people watched the nearly two-week event, NBA teams wanted to revert to the prior schedule.”
