With the start of the 2025 NBA Summer League set to begin Saturday with events in San Francisco and Salt Lake City, rosters for the league’s annual showcase are officially set. Alabama basketball has several former players that will suit up for Summer League action.

From recent undrafted free agents Mark Sears, Grant Nelson, Clifford Omoruyi and Chris Youngblood, to former Alabama players Kira Lewis Jr., Alex Reese and others, a total of nine former Crimson Tide players will occupy Summer League rosters. Game will be played primarily in Las Vegas, July 10-20.

The Summer League provides an opportunity for rookies and players on two-way or Exhibit-10 contracts to compete for NBA roster spots. Since games are televised/streamed on NBA TV and ESPN, fans can also tune in to see which players are making a name for themselves.

Here’s a look at every former Alabama player competing in the 2025 NBA Summer League.
