The Boston Celtics and Toronto Raptors played their first NBA Summer League game on July 10, 2026 at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. Both squads fielded mostly rookie rosters, with the Celtics featuring 13 first‑year players and the Raptors 12, including first‑round pick Hugo Gonzalez, who has been busy playing for Spain in FIBA World Cup qualifiers.
