The 2022 NBA2K23 Summer League wrapped up on Sunday, July 17 with the Portland Trail Blazers winning the championship in Las Vegas.

The summer circuit represents a chance for young players to sharpen and showcase their skills before the upcoming season. 31 former Pac-12 standouts were among those who participated.
