Cooper Flagg and the Dallas Mavericks will take on Bronny James and the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday in Las Vegas at NBA Summer League, and if you want to attend the game, you’d better have deep pockets.

According to Colin Salao of Front Office Sports, the average purchase price for Day 1 of the Las Vegas Summer League on Thursday is $201. That’s the highest-priced ticket for Summer League on record. 

The get-in price for a general-admission ticket is $83, while courtside seats are going for more than $2,500. 

Cooper Flagg was the first pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. He was a superstar in college at Duke, averaging 19.2 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 37 games while shooting 48.1% from the field, 38.5% from beyond the arc and 84.0% from the free-throw line.

Meanwhile, Bronny James is the son of Lakers superstar LeBron James. Bronny was the 55th pick in the 2024 draft. He split time between the Lakers and South Bay Lakers last season. The guard averaged 21.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.9 steals and 0.3 blocks in the G League while shooting 38.0% from beyond the arc. 

Bronny’s best game with the Lakers was against the Milwaukee Bucks on March 20. He had 17 points and five assists in 29 minutes while shooting 70.0% from the field and 50.0% from 3.

The Mavericks and Lakers will forever be linked after Nico Harrison traded Luka Doncic to Los Angeles for Anthony Davis and Max Christie.

However, for now, fans are excited to watch Flagg take on Bronny in Las Vegas.
