Former Wisconsin basketball standouts John Tonje and Steven Crowl will begin their NBA careers on Saturday night when the Utah Jazz tip off their 2025 NBA Summer League against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Tonje found his way to the Jazz via the NBA draft, where he was the team’s selection with the No. 53 overall pick. Crowl, meanwhile, signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the team just days later. The duo of former Badgers will take the court with a Jazz Summer League roster that also includes former college standouts Ace Bailey (Rutgers), Walter Clayton (Florida), R.J. Luis (St. John’s), Selton Miguel (Maryland) and J’Wan Roberts (Houston).
The Salt Lake City, Utah, Summer League circuit spans from July 5-8. The Jazz will face the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday evening and the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday, both games at 9 p.m. ET. Those four teams will then travel to Las Vegas, Nevada, for the full-league Summer League slate. The Jazz have games scheduled on July 11, 13, 14 and 16 before playoff action begins on July 19.
As Tonje and Crowl look to make their mark at the NBA level, here is how to watch their Summer League debut on Saturday.
