“I extend my sincere gratitude to NBA G League players and coaches for giving their all to their teams and fans this season.

In the coming weeks, the NBA G League will announce end-of-season award winners, including the Most Valuable Player, Dennis Johnson Coach of the Year and Rookie of the Year.
