MEXICO CITY – The NBA’s G-League is expanding to Mexico City.
The official minor league of the NBA will add its 29th team in the 2020-21 season. Capitanes, which has been a professional team in the Mexican League for years, will be joining the G-League, commissioner Adam Silver said Thursday before the Mavericks-Pistons game.
“This is truly a historic milestone for the NBA,” Silver said. “This demonstrates our commitment to fans in Mexico and Latin America. The NBA G-League has long focused on growing the game in Mexico and Latin America. Having a team in Mexico City is an important step in realizing that vision.
