Between September 12 and 24, the Impact Basketball Training facility in Las Vegas, which reportedly seats around 1,000 people, will host dozens of NBA players who will privately train, lift weights and engage in closed workouts for much of the morning, then play public exhibition basketball games which fans can enjoy Monday through Thursday afternoons and evenings.

The first week of games will likely be the "regular season" of the Impact Las Vegas exhibition games. The second week will be a "playoffs," with the Competitive Training Series "championship" game on September 24.

he missed the entire season, he had a broken foot.

i hope hes still with the team next season and gets some minutes. hes got talent and not a lot of people know about him or that he can play.
 
^^^ Looks like just another summer pickup game, just with a higher level of talent on the floor. No defense, no shots contested. Without coaching, its just a pickup game. Basically its the same thing they have been doing at places like Impact and Attack for years just with set teams.
