The BIG3 will bring its eight franchises to Detroit this summer, featuring high‑profile players, a hometown Detroit Amps showdown, and an open practice in Warren.

From Kobe Bryant’s decision to skip Duke for the NBA to Kevin Garnett’s groundbreaking jump straight from high school, the 1990s saw a wave of top prospects bypass college. Their choices sparked a cultural shift, prompted a league‑wide rule change, and left a legacy that still influences the sport today.

The inaugural games of the 2026 BIG3 season will be played in Los Angeles on June 20, featuring the Miami 305 led by Michael Beasley, the LA Riot anchored by Dwight Howard, and several other marquee matchups, all airing on CBS and streaming on Fubo.
