The 2021 NBA Summer League was an off-season competition held by the National Basketball Association (NBA) at the Thomas and Mack Center and Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas, Nevada on the campus of University of Nevada, Las Vegas. The summer league consisted of the California Classic, Salt Lake City Summer League, and the Las Vegas NBA Summer League.
This was the first NBA Summer League since 2019 as the 2020 NBA Summer League was cancelled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and due to the Bubble. It began on August 8, 2021, and ended on August 17. All 30 NBA teams participated in the reboot of the summer league. Teams competed in a tournament-style schedule in four preliminary games before seeding in a tournament; each team played four games, and the best two teams played in the championship, while the rest of the teams played another game the NBA decided on. The event concluded with the 2021 NBA Summer League Championship game on August 17.
