Myles Burns earns a spot on the Dallas Mavericks summer league roster
Myles Burns is getting a chance to continue his playing career this summer after earning a spot on the summer league roster of the Dallas Mavericks.
The 14-man team that includes Burns will head to Las Vegas next month to play in the NBA Summer League. The league features all 30 NBA teams with rosters comprised of younger talent and players taken in last week’s NBA Draft.
The Mavericks will begin play in Las Vegas with a matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday, July 8 at 2:30 p.m. CT on ESPN2, before facing Philadelphia (July 10), Golden State (July 12), and Indiana (July 14). The date, time, and opponent of a fifth game will be determined later.
Prior to the NBA Draft Burns earned a workout with the Portland Trailblazers but he did not get his name called during the two-round draft.
Spending one season at Ole Miss Burns saw action in all 33 games for the Rebels last year. The Houston native averaged 8.0 points, a team-best 5.9 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game.

Combined with his stats from Loyola New Orleans, Burns topped 2,000 career points for his college basketball career on February 4 at Vanderbilt, hitting the mark on an alley-oop.
In four years at Loyola New Orleans under former Ole Miss associate AD for men’s basketball Stacy Hollowell, Burns played in 120 games and was an NAIA All-American honoree in each season. He left the program ranked second in school history in points (1,852), second in rebounds (1,069), seventh in assists (298), first in steals (358), and fourth in blocks (116).
During his senior season, he helped guide the Wolf Pack to a 2022 NAIA National Championship, scoring 17 points in the title game with 17 rebounds, two assists, four steals, and two blocks.
The Dallas Mavericks will hold a mini camp from July 4-6 before the team begins play in Las Vegas. The Summer League is set to take place between July 7-17 at the Thomas & Mack Center and Cox Pavilion on the campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and will feature all 30 NBA teams.
