The G League Ignite, citing 'the changing basketball landscape' with NIL and the transfer portal, will fold after its final game this season on March 28.

The league made the announcement Thursday, saying it was shutting down the Henderson, Nevada-based Ignite because of"the changing basketball landscape, including the NCAA's Name, Image and Likeness policy and the advent of collectives and the transfer portal" as its primary reasons.

"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," G League president Shareef Abdur-Rahim said."With the changing environment across youth and collegiate basketball, now is the right time to take this step."
