RIP to the G League Ignite 🪦 @peterdunks
The G League Ignite program has come to its conclusion. The decision was announced by the G League president Shareef Abdur-Rahim in a detailed statement.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver announced last month at the All-Star event that there was a possibility of that happening. The Ignite program was started to give players a platform to play professional basketball and prepare for the drafts.
Abdur-Rahim, in a statement, stated that the decision was taken keeping in view the ‘changing environment across youth and college basketball’.
"Four years ago, we started Ignite to fill a void in the basketball landscape, and I'm proud of the contributions we were able to make to that ecosystem," he said. "With the changing environment across youth and collegiate basketball, now is the right time to take this step.
