NBA to Hold New Immersive Fan Event in Las Vegas This Summer

The National Basketball Association announced a new event for fans this summer, headlined by hall of famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young and prospects Victor Wembanyama and Scoot Henderson.

The league will partner with trade-show giant Emerald Holding Inc. to host NBA Con, which will occur on July 7 to 9 in Las Vegas at the Mandalay Bay resort. It will be held in tandem with Summer League — an annual tournament for NBA prospects and younger players.
