The 2023 event will be the fifth time the Summer League showcase will occur and the fourth all-time in Sacramento. The only time it didn’t take place at the Golden 1 Center was in 2022 when it was played at the Chase Center in San Francisco. 

Here is what you need to know about the 2023 California Classic. 

Who are the teams competing? 

The six teams competing in this year’s event are the Sacramento Kings, Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers, San Antonio Spurs, Charlotte Hornets and the Miami Heat. 

The Spurs and Hornets are first-time attendees of the fifth annual Summer League showcase. The Kings, Warriors, Lakers and Heat have competed in the event every year since its inception in 2018. 

All teams will be playing under adjusted rules with 10 minute quarters, eight-minute halftime, all timeouts lasting for one minute and 45 seconds, and teams getting two timeouts per half, but those won’t carry over.

Players foul out on their 10th foul instead of the usual six.

Who are the players to look out for?

The Spurs and Hornets had the first two picks of the NBA Draft, but only of them is expected to make their debut in Sacramento. 

San Antonio selected Victor Wembanyama with the first selection, but the Spurs announced the French phenom won’t travel with the team to California’s capital city. The team announced Wembanyama would likely make his Summer League debut in Las Vegas.
