Does anyone know how much this summer league dudes make a game? Or are they playing free for 2 ways and roster spots

They don't get paid a salary. The NBA covers their flights, room and board, and they give them a per diem of $150 a day.

There’s only a couple guys on each team that have guaranteed deals. Everybody else is basically auditioning for NBA teams, G-League teams or overseas.

The wackest Summer League in years because of the lack of starpower. I can not remember a year where this many of the top rookies were out.

10 first rounders out either because of injury or their teams sitting them out: Morant, Garland, Culver, Reddish, Cam Johnson, Washington, Langford, Okeke, Jerome & Porter. Bitadze not playing because of visa issues. Zion & Doumboya only played only game. Hunter/Hayes/NAW missed games waiting for the trade to go through.

So over half of the 1st round picks either didn’t play at all or were limited.

everyone is so afraid of injury that they don't play, don't buildup durability because of it and later on get hurt anyway :francis:

I was most pissed at Culver, Cam Johnson, Washington, Langford, Jerome & Porter Jr. None of those guys had injuries, why the fukk weren't you out here?
