As the NBA attempts to play a full season outside of a bubble amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the G League — which has not played any games since March — is choosing a different route.
While several teams like the Los Angeles Lakers won’t be a part of it, there have been rumors of a shortened season within a bubble for the 2020-21 season. The South Bay Lakers were led for a majority of last season by Talen Horton-Tucker, Devontae Cacok, and Kostas Antetokounmpo.
All three players will likely spend every game this season with the actual Lakers, which could have factored in to the decision to not be a part of the G League bubble at Walt Disney World.
