OKC Thunder to officially participate in 2023 Salt Lake City summer league
The Utah Jazz officially announced it will host its eighth consecutive summer league this July, with four teams — including the Oklahoma City Thunder — participating in the event.
The four teams will be the Thunder, Jazz, Philadelphia 76ers and Memphis Grizzlies. All four will play each other during the Salt Lake City summer league from July 3 to July 6.
This will be the second consecutive season the Thunder participated in Utah’s summer league. Thunder GM Sam Presti confirmed OKC’s attendance during his end-of-season press conference. This announcement makes it official.

There is a non-zero chance Chet Holmgren suits up for this summer league, as Presti noted it’s possible he plays in July following missing the entire 2022-23 season due to a Lisfranc injury that required multiple foot surgeries.
The Thunder will also participate in Las Vegas’ league-wide summer league from July 7 to July 17. This means the Thunder will have games every other day for two weeks, from July 3 to July 17.
