SACRAMENTO — Today, the Sacramento Kings announced that Golden 1 Center will host the 3rd Annual California Classic Summer League for players and teams preparing for NBA action. Beginning on August 3, four teams – Sacramento Kings, Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers, and Miami Heat – will play a total of four games featuring rookies selected in the 2021 NBA Draft, sophomores and athletes competing to make NBA and G League regular season rosters.

“We are excited to once again host fans in full capacity for the California Classic at Golden 1 Center,” said Sacramento Kings Owner and Chairman Vivek Ranadivé. “In addition to the high energy games we have come to expect from the Classic, fans will enjoy world-class entertainment and community activations.”

This summer basketball celebration – Tuesday, August 3, and Wednesday, August 4 – will feature a double-header matchup each day with all four teams participating. Similar to other Summer League matches, modified game play rules will be in place, including 10-minute quarters.

Beginning July 8, Kings Season Ticket Members for the 2021-22 season will have early access for two-day passes covering all four California Classic games at Golden 1 Center. General public will be able to purchase two-day passes on July 12 and single day passes on July 20 at Kings.com/CAClassic.

Team rosters, entertainment, fan zone activations and additional broadcast information will be announced at later dates.
