The G League will crown its 2021 champion in a bubble, just as the NBA did last season.
Plans were announced Friday for the G League season, which will be condensed and played at the Walt Disney World resort in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. Teams have been given a preliminary plan calling for games to begin around Feb. 8, but no schedule details have been set.
There will be 18 teams in the league, including the G League Ignite — the new team formed this season to serve primarily as a one-year development program for elite NBA draft prospects.
