Three former University of Pittsburgh stars—Bub Carrington, Blake Hinson, and Zack Austin—are set to showcase their skills at the NBA 2K26 Summer League in Las Vegas from July 10-20. Carrington will play for the Washington Wizards, while Hinson joins the Golden State Warriors, and Austin will represent the Oklahoma City Thunder. Notably, two Pitt coaches will also join the event: Chris Jones from the Utah Jazz and Ashton Gibbs.

The Summer League provides a crucial opportunity for these players to impress coaches and scouts, as they aim to secure a spot on an NBA roster. Each player has had significant collegiate success, and their performance in Las Vegas can be pivotal for their professional careers.
