Pacers to compete in 10-team Orlando Summer League

The Amway Center’s practice court hosts the annual Orlando Summer League in early July.

The Pacers will once again be participating in the Southwest Airlines Orlando Pro Summer League event held on the practice court at the Amway Center, the home of the Orlando Magic.

Pacers brass and coaches — Frank Vogel and Nate McMillan here — all attend Summer League action to evaluate talent.

The Pacers have been longtime participants in this annual offseason event that is closed off to the public. There will be 10 teams, including two from the Magic, competing in the seven-day event running from July 4-10. Each team will play five games.

Teams with an entry: Brooklyn Nets, Charlotte Hornets, Detroit Pistons, Indiana Pacers, Los Angeles Clippers, Memphis Grizzlies, Miami Heat, Oklahoma City Thunder, and two Orlando Magic squads.

In each of the past two years, the Pacers have finished in third. Pacers longtime assistant coach Dan Burke is typically the head coach. (Click here to see who played on last year’s team.)

NBA TV will televise the games, and every game can be viewed on NBA.com and on the NBA mobile app.

How it is Scored:

A point system will establish the standings leading up to the final day, with eight points awarded each game based on: four points for winning the game and one point for winning a quarter (in the event of a tied quarter, each team will receive 0.5 points). In the event of ties in seeding heading into championship day, three tiebreakers will be in place: 1) total point differential; 2) total points allowed; 3) coin flip.
