Four former Nebraska men's basketball standouts are set to make their mark on the 2026 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, each earning a spot on a different NBA franchise. The players — Rienk Mast with the Indiana Pacers, Sam Hoiberg with the Phoenix Suns, Josiah Allick with the Charlotte Hornets, and Brice Williams with the Detroit Pistons — represent a diverse group of prospects eager to showcase their talents.
A Milestone for the Huskers
The summer league schedule runs from July 9 through July 16, during which every team will play at least four preliminary contests before the knockout stage begins. Teams that advance will contest the semifinals on July 18, while the championship game on July 19 will be broadcast on ESPN, giving the action a national audience.
This marks the second consecutive year that Nebraska has placed four players in the summer league, underscoring the program’s growing pipeline to the NBA and reflecting the coaching staff’s development efforts. The achievement highlights the university’s ability to produce talent that earns NBA opportunities year after year.
Fans will be able to follow the games live on Prime Video for the semifinals and on ESPN for the championship, ensuring that the excitement reaches a broad audience across the United States.
