The San Antonio Spurs’ rookie class has started practice in preparation for the NBA Summer League. The team released their Summer League roster on Tuesday, with assistant coach Corliss Williamson serving as the team’s Summer League head coach.
Summer League Schedule
The Spurs will open Summer League play on July 3 at Chase Center in San Francisco, where they will face the Miami Heat, Golden State Warriors, and Los Angeles Lakers before heading to Las Vegas.
The Summer League squad held its second practice together on Tuesday. The team is focused on getting to know one another and learning how to play together.
“These guys are anxious to be in the NBA, to play. The ones who were drafted, the ones who have been in the G League, or whether they’re just a free agent this year,” Williamson said. “That does give you some excitement as a coach because you get an opportunity to reteach some things you’ve done throughout the year.”
Rookie center Tarris Reed Jr. said he’s looking forward to learning his teammates and how they like to play the game.
“Where guys want the ball, ball screen wise, how guys look to score, how guys pass and really get us ready for Vegas,” Reed added.
