NBA Summer League action has kicked off with the California Classic, which is taking place at the Chase Center in San Francisco and Golden 1 Center in Sacramento from Friday through Monday.<\/p>\n
A quartet of teams are playing a round robin at each location. <\/p>\n
The Chase Center group consists of the Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Lakers and “Warriors Gold,” one of two Golden State Warriors teams participating in this event.<\/p>\n
The Sacramento Kings, Brooklyn Nets, Milwaukee Bucks and “Warriors Blue” are playing at Golden 1 Center.<\/p>\n
