The main on-court event on the NBA summer calendar begins Thursday when the Las Vegas Summer League tips off from Sin City. There are seven games on Thursday's slate, including a matchup between Cooper Flagg's Dallas Mavericks and Bronny James ' Los Angeles Lakers.

Bronny James is back with the Los Angeles Lakers for a second year of Summer League action, which began Sunday.

Given the level of scrutiny Bronny James was under as the son of one of the greatest players of all time, surviving his first year as a pro was an accomplishment in and of itself.
