Shane Larkin Will Play In Summer League

Point guards Shane Larkin and Gal Mekel are two of the players who will represent the Dallas Mavericks in the Samsung NBA Summer League, which will be played from July 11-21 in Las Vegas.

The games will be played at the Thomas & Mack Center -- and at the COX Pavilion -- on the campus of the University of Nevada Las Vegas.

A total of 23 NBA franchises, plus a team of select players from the NBA Development League, will compete in a tournament-style format. Each squad is guaranteed to play at least five games.

Both Larkin and Mekel had their rookie seasons interrupted by injuries this past year. Larkin underwent right ankle surgery on July 16, while Mekel had right knee surgery on Jan. 17.
