The NBA has announced that the NBA G League Ignite will cease operations after the current season. The league said that "the decision to end the program comes amid the changing basketball landscape, including the NCAA’s Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) policy and the advent of collectives and the transfer portal."

Nine Ignite veterans are currently in the NBA, including key contributors Dyson Daniels (New Orleans Pelicans), Jalen Green (Houston Rockets), Scoot Henderson (Portland Trail Blazers) and 2022 NBA champion Jonathan Kuminga (Golden State Warriors).

“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,” said Sharif Abdur-Rahim.  “With the changing environment across youth and collegiate basketball, now is the right time to take this step.  I want to extend my sincere gratitude to general manager Anthony McClish, head coach Jason Hart and their staff and to each player who wore an Ignite jersey.  As ever, the G League’s commitment to developing top NBA talent and helping players achieve their NBA dreams is unwavering.”

Bryce James has transferred back to Sierra Canyon where he played his freshman and sophomore seasons. James will be eligible to play immediately as he didn't compete in any games for Notre Dame this season.

James split time between JV and varsity at Sierra Canyon and tallied 3.8 points per game in 12 varsity appearances for the Trailblazers as a sophomore. 

AJ Dybantsa has reclassified to be part of the incoming college class of 2025, which will make him draft eligible in 2026.

Dybantsa is a 6'9 power forward at Prolific Prep in Napa, California. Dybantsa is now the No. 1 recruit in the incoming class ahead of Cameron Boozer.

Tyran Stokes, who also attends Prolific Prep, is now the No. 1 recruit in the class of 2026.

Dybantsa led the 17U Division of the Nike Peach Jam this summer averaging 25.8 points per game while adding 5.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game. 

Cooper Flagg has reclassified from 2025 to the incoming college class of 2024, which makes him the new favorite to be picked No. 1 in the 2025 NBA draft.

Flagg entered the summer ranked No. 2 in the ESPN 60 for 2025, but dominated throughout June and July and is now widely considered the top prospect regardless of class.

Duke has been considered the favorite to sign Falgg, but UConn, Kansas and Kentucky are also involved. 

Flagg will turn 18 in late December of his freshman year of college. 

Bryce James, the son of LeBron James, transferred to Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, CA.

The 16-year-old played his first two seasons at Sierra Canyon School.

James joins three-star prospect Jayden Harper on the team. 

Notre Dame is the current defending CIF State Division 1 champion.

The 2023 USA Men's U16 National Team won the gold medal for the eighth-straight time at the FIBA Men's U16 Americas Championship. The Americans, bolstering a 6-0 record at the event, defeated Canada 118-36 on Sunday in Mexico.

Cameron Boozer was named the MVP of the 2023 FIBA Men's U16 Americas Championship.

Boozer joins seven other Americans who have earned the honor - Bradley Beal (2009), Jabari Parker (2011), Malik Newman (2013), Gary Trent Jr. (2015), Vernon Carey Jr. (2017), Chris Livingston (2019) and Robert Dillingham (2021).

Ron Holland will play for the G League Ignite next season.

Holland is the No. 2 ranked senior in high school basketball for the graduating class of 2023. Holland had committed to Texas but decommitted in late April.

Holland is the No. 6 prospect in the 2024 NBA draft.

"This process was not easy," Holland told ESPN. "At times it was scary because at times I had no idea where I would be.

"The G League will help me reach my potential as a basketball player and prepare me for the NBA. To have a long career, I need to prepare my body and improve my skills as I continue to try to win games. They have a program to help develop my body and my game. I know I have to work on being a more consistent shooter, along with my footwork and ball handling, so I can score in space on the perimeter against a set defender."

Holland is a 6-foot-8 forward from Duncanville (Texas) High School.

Bryce James will leave Sierra Canyon to attend Campbell Hall next season, a source tells Myron Medcalf of ESPN.

Bryce James is the youngest son of LeBron James and is considered a Division 1 prospect in the incoming college class of 2025.

Campbell Hall (Studio City, California) is about 19 miles from Sierra Canyon (Chatsworth, California) and costs about $50,000 per year in tuition. According to the source, the James family has made a donation toward the creation of a new multimillion-dollar athletic facility on campus.

Jrue Holiday and his brothers Aaron and Justin attended Campbell Hall.

Bryce will play for head coach David Grace, who was most recently associate head coach for Vanderbilt (2019-2021) before a stint as a high school coach in Arizona last season.
