Currently, the NBA’s minor league has 31 teams, with only one NBA franchise — the Phoenix Suns — lacking an G-League affiliate. The rise of NIL in the realm of NCAA sports, has however, potentially altered the future of G-League Ignite, an NBA created team that was intended to provide “a path for pre-draft eligible players to be paid to play basketball before being eligible to enter the NBA due to the league’s age limit for prospects,” league commissioner Adam Silver told ESPN. “I think given that that’s (NIL) happened, I think we are in the process of reassessing Team Ignite,” Silver said Saturday night during his All-Star Weekend news conference in Indianapolis.
