SEATTLE — Jamal Crawford’s ‘Crawsover’ Pro-Am basketball league is returning to the Seattle Pacific University campus for another summer of free basketball.

The former Rainier Beach High School star and 19-year NBA veteran will play alongside current and former NBA, college and professional players at Royal Brougham Pavilion on weekends through the end of August.

"The Crawsover Pro-Am League is one of the premier competitive summer men's basketball leagues in the United States featuring current and former professional, international, minor league, and collegiate players, filling the empty void of basketball in Seattle," a description on the league's website reads.

The first game of the season begins Saturday at noon.

NBA stars like Kevin Durant, Chris Paul and Kyrie Irving have also made guest appearances in years past.

Team rosters and schedules were released Friday. See breakdowns below:

Crawford led Rainier Beach to a state title in 1998 and went on to play for the University of Michigan for one season. Crawford was selected eighth overall in the 2000 NBA draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers, who immediately traded him to the Chicago Bulls.

In 19 NBA Seasons, Crawford has played for the Bulls, New York Knicks, Golden State Warriors, Atlanta Hawks, Portland Trail Blazers, L.A. Clippers, Minnesota Timberwolves and the Phoenix Suns.
