Grind Session Alumni Shine Bright at 2025 NBA Summer League
Las Vegas, NV
The 2025 NBA 2K26 Summer League has wrapped up in Las Vegas, and the Grind Session once again cemented its place as a proving ground for future pros. With over 20 former Grind Session players participating across multiple teams, the league’s impact at the NBA level continues to grow.
The 2024-25 NBA season tipped off with several Grind Session alumni making their debuts, showcasing the talent pipeline from this elite high school basketball circuit to the professional ranks.
Yves Missi, the 1st-round selection of the New Orleans Pelicans in the 2024 NBA Draft, had an impressive performance in his debut. The 6'11" forward, who played one season at Baylor University after starring at Prolific Prep in the Grind Session, contributed 12 points, 7 rebounds, 3 blocks, 1 steal, and 1 assist. Missi’s two-way impact helped the Pelicans secure a 123-111 victory over the Chicago Bulls, making him an exciting player to watch this season.
