After a summer filled with traveling across the country–and in some instances overseas–for AAU tournaments and showcases, the pinnacle of the high school season returns this Wednesday when the SLAM Summer Classic Vol. 6 Presented by 2K25 touches down at the famed Rucker Park on August 21st.

After last year’s buzzer-beating thriller courtesy of Cooper Flagg, Vol. 6 is slated to match the energy as 28 of the top ranked hoopers from across the nation descend on the Mecca of Basketball.

If you can’t make it out to catch the action, don’t worry. Just like last year, the SLAM Summer Classic will be live streamed via the NBA App. For those in the city, doors open at 4 p.m. EST at Rucker Park. The Girls game starts at 5 p.m. EST, headlined by Aaliyah Chavez, Sienna Betts and Jerzy Robinson while the Boys game–featuring Kiyan Anthony, AJ Dybantsa and Caleb Wilson–kicks off at 7 p.m. EST.
