NBA Gleague Ignite is no more. A year too late for us.

"The NBA is shutting down the G League Ignite team after this season, canceling the development squad of elite draft prospects and veterans that was launched in 2020, sources briefed on the matter told The Athletic on Thursday, a decision that was confirmed by the league later in the day.

The NBA launched the Ignite at a point when no other American pro league provided a path for pre-draft eligible players to be significantly compensated to play before entering the draft. With the rise of name, image and likeness (NIL) and the transfer portal in college basketball, the need for the Ignite elite team was eliminated. Now, NIL allows players to earn money while going to college and receiving NCAA experience."
