The NBA is pulling the plug on the G League Ignite following the 2023-24 season, G League president Shareef Abdur-Rahim announced Thursday.
The developmental team was established in 2020 as an alternate pathway to the Association for pre-draft-eligible prospects.
“Four years ago, we started Ignite to fill a void in the basketball landscape, and I’m proud of the contributions we were able to make to that ecosystem,” said Abdur-Rahim in a statement. “With the changing environment across youth and collegiate basketball, now is the right time to take this step.”
