Several NBA stars were spotted at the start of the Brooklyn Nets Summer League games in Las Vegas. The Nets will appear in the competition for the 10th time in franchise history and many stars gathered to watch young ballers show what they have. The team featured some of the best young talent in the league.
Recently traded star Mikal Bridges was seen sitting courtside in support of his former team. Bridges was traded not long ago to the New York Knicks, in exchange for Bojan Bogdanovic. Minnesota Timberwolves star Karl-Anthony Towns was also seen in attendance as he watched the Nets' first summer game this offseason.
New Orleans Pelicans' Trey Murphy, Herb Jones, Matt Ryan, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and new star Dejounte Murray were also present. Houston Rockets' Jabari Smith Jr. and Amen Thompson were also there to support their young and upcoming players.

Bronny James continues to struggle in Summer League
The California Classic has come to an end and the LA Lakers are focused on participating in the 2K25 Summer League. Fans are still waiting for Bronny James to show what he has for the Lakers. In his first two games, he failed to score double digits and was a non-factor in shooting the basketball.
However, the story remains the same for James tonight as he has not been a significant help to the LA team. The former USC guard has not found his shooting stroke. The young guard finished with eight points and five rebounds. He shot 3-for-14 from the field and failed to make a single shot out of his eight attempts from beyond the arc.
On the defensive end, he wasn't much of a major factor either. James had a couple of steals but did not record a block in their loss against the Rockets. Their next game will be on July 15 against the Boston Celtics.
