The NBA2K25 Summer League in Vegas is set to kick off, signaling the return of Toronto Raptors basketball. The Raptors have a busy schedule ahead, with four Summer League games lined up against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Denver Nuggets, Utah Jazz, and the Miami Heat. Their first game is scheduled for July 13 against the Thunder, and fans are eagerly anticipating seeing Ja’Kobe Walter, Jonathan Mogbo, Jamal Shead, and Ulrich Chomche in action in Raptors jerseys.
One player generating buzz is Gradey Dick, the Raptors’ 2023 lottery pick. Speculation surrounded whether Dick would join the Summer League roster, as the organization typically keeps second-year players out. However, Dick has been given the green light to play after showing improvement under coach Darko Rajakovic’s guidance. With a strong finish to his rookie season, Dick will be looking to showcase his skills and potentially earn a bigger role on the team during the Summer League. There’s a possibility that the Raptors may limit Dick’s playing time after the first two games if he performs well.
Joining the returning players and rookies are some new faces, including former All-American Drew Timme, who will be suiting up for his second Summer League team after playing with the Sacramento Kings. Another familiar name is Omari Moore, who spent last season with the 905 Raptors. Additionally, fans can look forward to seeing Jamison Battle, Dylan Disu, Joseph Girard III, Quincy Guerrier, and Tylor Perry make their debut for Toronto.
Excitement is building as the Raptors gear up for the Vegas Summer League, and with a mix of familiar faces and promising newcomers, fans can expect to see a competitive and dynamic squad take the court. Stay tuned for more updates as the Summer League action unfolds.
