Greater Hartford Pro-Am returning to Hartford (or nearby)

After being held at Waterbury's Crosby High the past few summers, the Greater Hartford Pro-Am is returning to Hartford.

The annual summer basketball league, featuring many of the state's best former, future and current college, pro and high school stars, will likely be held at the Sports and Medical Sciences Academy. Nothing's official yet, however, and t's possible it could be held at a different Hartford school, or one in a neighboring town.

The main reason it's leaving Crosby is because that gym is being refurbished this summer. It's entirely possible the league could return to Crosby next summer.

The league will begin play on Wednesday, July 8.
