LAS VEGAS – The Toronto Raptors earned the top seed in the championship tournament of Samsung NBA Summer League 2016 following the first five days of action in Las Vegas.  The single-elimination tournament tips off on Wednesday, July 13, at the Thomas & Mack Center and Cox Pavilion on the campus of the University of Nevada Las Vegas.  The Chicago Bulls (2), Los Angeles Lakers (3), Denver Nuggets (4) and Phoenix Suns (5) round out the top five seeds.  The San Antonio Spurs, the reigning NBA Summer League champions, are seeded 9^th and will face the 24^th seeded Minnesota Timberwolves at 3 p.m. PT on July 13 in defense of their title.  The tournament will culminate in a championship game on Monday, July 18.

The game between the Spurs and Timberwolves highlights an eight-game slate on Wednesday, featuring other teams seeded 10-23.  Thursday’s slate features eight games, including the top-seeded Raptors facing the winner of the 17^th-seeded Houston Rockets or the 16th-seeded Golden State, the second-seeded Bulls taking on the winner of the matchup between the 18^th-seeded Milwaukee Bucks and the 15^th-seeded Dallas Mavericks and the third-seeded Lakers taking on the winner of the 19^th-seeded Boston Celtics and 14^th-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers.

Each of the 24 participating teams played in three games since the event tipped off on July 8, with the results of those games determining the 1-24 seedings.  Each team will compete in at least two more games in Las Vegas as the Championship bracket unfolds.  Seeding for the tournament was determined by win-loss records, with ties being broken using quarter-points and then point differential.

Teams seeded 9-24 will play on Wednesday, July 13, with the winners of those games advancing in the tournament to play Thursday, July 14, against teams seeded 1-8, who earned a first-round “bye.”  Teams that lose a game on either Wednesday or Thursday will play a consolation game on Friday, July 15.  The championship tournament resumes on Saturday, July 16 with a four-game slate.

ESPN and NBA TV will present the remaining 31 games from Las Vegas with ESPN2 and ESPNU exclusively televising the Championship rounds on Saturday, July 16; Sunday, July 17; and Monday, July 18.  Additionally, all remaining games will be available live on ESPN3 and WatchESPN.
