The Bulls are set to ship out to Las Vegas for their annual trip to the NBA Summer League. With a brand new front office and coach, plus a crop of exciting rookies, it is a new day in Chicago, and the Bulls will look to carry that excitement to a Summer League Championship.

It may only be Summer League, but as the first opportunity to see the Bulls’ most prized rookie selection since Derrick Rose, Caleb Wilson, along with 15th pick Dailyn Swain and last year’s lottery pick Noa Essengue, it might be the most anticipated trip to Vegas since their title run in 2016.

“People that are saying that it’s just summer league didn’t win summer league championship.” — Denzel Valentine

Truer words have never been spoken.

Here’s everything you need to know before their first tip-off on Friday night, including what the players and coaches have been saying during their training camp.

Schedule

• Game 1: Friday, July 10 vs. Memphis at 7 p.m. CT
• Game 2: Monday, July 13 vs. Utah at 8 p.m. CT
• Game 3: Tuesday, July 14 vs. Washington at 8 p.m. CT
• Game 4: Thursday, July 16 vs. Los Angeles Lakers at 5 p.m. CT
• Game 5: TBD depending on outcomes of previous games

In the first three games, Wilson will have the opportunity to face off against each of the three players picked before him in the 2026 Draft, Cameron Boozer, Darryn Peterson and AJ Dybantsa.

Tiago Splitter

It’s more rare than it is unprecedented, but Tiago Splitter will serve as the head coach for the Summer Bulls, at least for the first two games.

“I want to set the tone on this first summer league camp,” Splitter said. “Especially having guys like Caleb and Dailyn, these guys that were drafted, I think they’re important for this organization. So I want to just set the tone and also work with the staff and get familiar with everybody.”
