<p>All 30 teams have revealed their rosters for the 2025 NBA Summer League, and several Kansas alumni are ready to participate this year.</p>
<p>Returning players Johnny Furphy and Kevin McCullar Jr. will join new faces Hunter Dickinson, Dajuan Harris Jr., and Zeke Mayo. The action kicks off at 2:30 p.m. on Thursday, featuring Dickinson’s New Orleans Pelicans against Minnesota at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas.</p>
<p>None of these former Jayhawks participated in the pre-Summer League events in California or Salt Lake City. They aim to make a strong impression, reminiscent of Jalen Wilson, who won Summer League MVP last year, averaging 21.8 points and 4.6 rebounds.</p>
<p>In his rookie season, Furphy had limited playing time on a strong Indiana Pacers team that reached the NBA Finals but lost. He averaged 7.6 minutes per game over 50 appearances, recording 2.1 points and 1.4 rebounds. His strong finish included a 17-point game against the Orlando Magic.</p>
<p>Furphy has been tasked by his coaches to step up as a leader during this Summer League as one of the returning players. For McCullar, this will be his first complete season after recovering from an injury, which kept him from playing in last year's Summer League. He had brief appearances with the New York Knicks during his debut season.</p>
<p>As a rookie on a two-way contract, Dickinson is expected to spend considerable time with the Birmingham Squadron in the G League, facing competition for playing time from New Orleans’ recent draft picks. Harris, a key member of the 2022 national title team, will start his Summer League with the Charlotte Hornets on Friday against Utah, aiming to showcase his skills.</p>
<p>Finally, Mayo will represent his hometown team, the Washington Wizards, showcasing his shooting talents that were pivotal in his last collegiate season. He will start against the Phoenix Suns on Friday evening, with additional plans for participation in The Basketball Tournament later this month.</p>
