The schedule for the MGM Resorts NBA Summer League 2018 was released on Tuesday with the announcement that all 30 NBA teams will be participating across a 12-day, 82-game schedule.

For the Suns, summer league will tip off on opening night Friday, July 6 at 6:30 p.m. against the Dallas Mavericks. The Suns schedule is highlighted with a July 7 match up against the Sacramento Kings, potentially pitting the Suns No. 1 overall pick against the Kings second overall selection.
