Is Boston Playing in Utah this summer because of the stanchions in Orlando?

[Alleyoopster]

Boston has been playing in the Orlando Summer League the past number of years. This summer they are scheduled to play in Utah.  I'm wondering if this venue change had to do with the stanchion collision injury to Dairus Bertrans. He suffered a neck injury after colliding with the stanchion.  It didn't turn out to be serious.  (FWIW:The courts in Orlando are not that long.  I don't think they can do much as far as setting the stanchions further back.) 

Paul George broke his leg after colliding with the stanchions in Vegas' USA games and missed most of the season.  Perhaps, the Celtics brass isn't taking any chances playing in those arenas because the stanchions situation hasn't improved.  This is purely speculation on my part, but you never know.  Maybe Utah's hoops pose the same problem?   I wonder if NBA management thinks of such things.  And, if so, do they react to it. I haven't read anything about this in the press or media.  Has anyone heard of any stanchion changes because of these injuries?

I'm fairly certain it's because Utah summer league starts a little later than Orlando, and some of their participants might be traded -- so they don't want someone getting hurt.  Also, they intend to play in Vegas too, so less travel was probably a draw.

Thanks, I didn't realize that they are playing at least 3 games in Vegas.

I'm not sure what teams are playing, but the competition might be better over at Utah.

I thought I had read a schedule where there was also some sort of playoff competition at the end of the week.
