BOSTON -- After dreaming of Ben Simmons and/or Brandon Ingram all season long, Boston Celtics fans will likely cheer against one of them in the Utah Jazz Summer League opener.

The Celtics will open summer league against the Philadelphia 76ers, who won the NBA Draft lottery earlier this week. If Boston holds onto its own lottery choice, the matchup should feature a showdown between the No. 1 and No. 3 overall picks.

The Celtics' full Utah Jazz Summer League schedule follows below.

Monday, July 4: vs. Philadelphia 76ers
Tuesday, July 5: vs. Utah Jazz
Thursday, July 7: vs. San Antonio Spurs

Boston's youngsters will also compete in the Las Vegas Summer League later in July.

MY NOTE:   Hmmm.  No mention of the Orlando Summer League. On the bright side, only 5 weeks to the draft and 7 weeks to some Boston Celtics basketball!
