NBA G League, tidigare National Basketball Development League (NBDL) och NBA Development League (NBA D-League), är en nordamerikansk professionell basketliga som är farmarliga till National Basketball Association (NBA).[1] Basketligan leds av Shareef Abdur-Rahim.[2]

Historik

Den 13 juni 2000 meddelade NBA:s kommissarie David Stern att NBA skulle grunda National Basketball Development League (NBDL) i syfte att låta unga spelare få chansen att utveckla sig med mer matchspel. Basketligan skulle startas under novembermånad samma år.[3] Fem år senare bytte basketligan namn till NBA Development League (NBA D-League).[4] År 2017 köpte energidrycksvarumärket Gatorade namnrättigheterna till basketligan och basketligan fick det nuvarande namnet.[5]
