Dejan Vasiljevic and Xavier Cooks will be sharing the court together again at the NBA Summer League.

Sydney Kings championship teammates Dejan Vasiljevic and Xavier Cooks will hit the court together again at the NBA Summer League with the Washington Wizards.

Cooks is contracted to the Wizards for the upcoming NBA campaign, while ESPN’s Olgun Uluc has reported Vasiljevic will play for the team at the Summer League.

While playing together in the Harbour City, the duo of Cooks and Vasiljevic were vital to Sydney winning back-to-back championships.

Vasiljevic has developed a habit of hitting big time shots in clutch moments, highlighted by his epic Game 2 in Tasmania during the 2022 Championship Series.

Cooks was a dominant force in the 2023 decider against New Zealand, claiming Championship Series MVP honours.

They will join a host of current and former NBL stars playing in the Summer League including Duop Reath, Mojave King, DJ Hogg, Luke Travers and more.
