Sure, we won’t be able to watch Ben Simmons on the court during the NBA’s Summer League, but there is still Markelle Fultz, who the Sixers expect to play!
Yes, it’s true, the Philadelphia 76ers will be playing in the Utah and Las Vegas Summer League this summer, and it could be the first time we see Fultz playing in a Sixers jersey.

Remember last summer when we were glued to every summer game just to see Simmons in action? Yeah, I think a lot of us will do the same this year for Fultz. You know, if he plays.
Jonah Bolden and Mathias Lessort are also scheduled to play alongside Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot and Alex Poythress.
Here’s the schedule for their televised games.
