Tune in on ESPN2 to witness their growth and see if they can turn things around—Summer League is all about development, and this game could be a turning point. Go Kings!

A new 2,000-person music venue is set to rise in Old North Sacramento inside a historic furniture warehouse, spearheaded by musician Alex Alereza of Nekrogoblikon. Designed to fill the gap between small clubs and big arenas, the project—backed by $2.1 million in investment and Alereza’s LA venue experience—aims to open next year. Independent and artist-focused, it’ll host Nekrogoblikon first and draw crowds to Del Paso Boulevard via street parking and transit. Local officials and businesses are rallying behind the revitalization effort, betting on music to spark community energy.

Boston Celtics aim for their third straight win in NBA Summer League as they face the Sacramento Kings Wednesday night at 7:30 PM ET on ESPN2. After a win over Charlotte led by rookie Dillon Mitchell’s 24-point, 8-rebound performance, Boston fell to Atlanta 102-90 — a setback that leaves Mitchell hungry for redemption. Meanwhile, the Kings bring emerging talent like second-year Maxime Raynaud and scoring point guard Darius Acuff Jr., who shined in the California Classic. With Amile Jefferson and Derrick White alternating as head coaches, this game offers a crucial stage for young players to prove themselves on the big stage.

Jaylen Wells, the NBA rookie who rose from Folsom High to the Memphis Grizzlies, is back in Sacramento for his second annual youth basketball camp—this time offering kids ages 9 to 17 a chance to train with a rising star who once didn’t get any D-I offers. Running August 7–8 at Destiny Christian Academy, the camp features elite coaching, free swag, and lunch from Raising Cane’s (thanks to their sponsorship). Early bird registration is just $75 before July 15—don’t wait, space is limited. Wells, who was once just 5’6” and overlooked, now uses his platform to uplift Sacramento’s next generation, proving that hometown talent can go far.

The Sacramento Kings are in rebuild mode, trading away key assets and shedding millions to stay under the luxury tax line — a move that earned them a C from the New York Times. GM Scott Perry shipped Devin Carter and a future pick to Atlanta, waived DeMar DeRozan, and now faces tough decisions on high-salary stars Domantas Sabonis and Zach LaVine. While trade options are slim, Perry’s gamble paid off with three promising rookies — Darius Acuff Jr., Alex Karaban, and Emanuel Sharp — who bring grit and potential to a team focused on the long haul.

The Sacramento Kings just suffered their worst Summer League loss ever—getting obliterated by the Brooklyn Nets by 32 points. The Nets dominated from the start, building a 20-point lead by halftime and forcing 28 turnovers, including 21 steals. It’s the second straight game Sacramento’s lost by 20+ points, and second-year players Dylan Cardwell, Nique Clifford, and Maxime Raynaud took the heat, with Cardwell calling the team “soft” and blaming them—not the coaches—for the collapse. Cardwell’s night: 8 points, 7 rebounds. Raynaud: 7 turnovers. Clifford: 2 points, 3 turnovers. A huge step back from their previous performances. One more game against the Celtics left—time to regroup or risk finishing the summer on a humiliating note.

The Kings’ Summer League has been a rollercoaster—undefeated in the California Classic, then stumbling against the Wizards and Nets. But amid the ups and downs, standout performers are emerging. Emanuel Sharp’s defense and three-point shooting are making him a rotation candidate, while Darius Acuff Jr. still needs to tighten up his defensive game. Marquel Sutton’s athleticism and versatility offer a much-needed spark, and despite a rough start, Alex Karaban’s basketball IQ hints at potential—if he can recover from injury and step up.
