SummerKnicks Game Preview: Knicks vs. Pistons, July 11, 2025

The New York Knicks begin their 2025 NBA Summer League schedule tonight at 6:00 PM ET against the Detroit Pistons in Las Vegas.

The game will be televised on ESPN2 and NBA TV, and can also be streamed on ESPN+, NBA League Pass, and other streaming services.

New York's Summer League roster features a combination of returning players like Pacome Dadiet, Kevin McCullar Jr., Tyler Kolek, and Ariel Hukporti, alongside newcomers Dink Pate, James Nnaji, and Mohamed Diawara.

The team is coached by Knicks assistant Jordan Brink, noted for his elite challenge success rate. Other notable players include Anton Watson, MarJon Beauchamp (both with brief prior Knicks experience), and G League veteran Yudai Baba.

While Summer League performance isn't necessarily indicative of regular-season success, the roster presents key questions, such as potential improvements from Kolek, offensive flashes from Dadiet, or whether the new players can establish themselves.
