Let’s go, summer hoopers!
Summer League basketball is back, baby.
The New York Knicks open their 2025 Summer League campaign tonight at 6:00 PM ET, facing the Detroit Pistons in Las Vegas. Knicks summer league games will be televised on ESPN2 and NBA TV. You can also stream them on ESPN+, NBA League Pass, and other streaming services.
The Knicks’ Summer League roster showcases a mix of returning and incoming prospects, including second-year players Pacome Dadiet, Kevin McCullar Jr., Tyler Kolek, and Ariel Hukporti, alongside new faces Dink Pate, James Nnaji, and Mohamed Diawara.
The team is coached by assistant Jordan Brink, known for his elite challenge success rate. Other intriguing names include Anton Watson and MarJon Beauchamp, who had brief stints with the Knicks last season, and fan favorite Yudai Baba, a G League veteran. While Summer League performance isn’t always predictive of regular-season success, this group offers plenty of questions worth watching—like whether Kolek can make a leap, Dadiet can flash offensive upside, or the new additions can force their way into the conversation.
Let the Summer Madness begin.
