It's well documented that the G League is trying to find new ways to allow young players to develop within their league. In fact, they are starting a brand new program that includes a "Select Team" full of young high school prospects who have decided to forego college. One of the first players to join the team is none other than the number one high school prospect Jalen Green. 

Now, the G League is looking to secure a training hub for the team and it seems like they are looking no further than Kobe Bryant's Mamba Sports Academy. According to Chris Haynes, a deal has not yet been put into place although it is looking increasingly likely that the Mamba Sports Academy will play host to this groundbreaking new team.

Over the last few years, the NCAA has come under fire for the way it treats its student-athletes, particularly those who play football and basketball. In retaliation to this, some high school prospects have gone to play for teams that are overseas. In fact, the G-League has even created a new development program for players who would like to go through their system instead of going to college.

This G-League program received a huge win today as it was revealed that number 1 high school prospect Jalen Green would be joining the G-League and foregoing all of his college offers. As ESPN reported today, Green could make upwards of $500K and will be able to train with veteran ballplayers. Needless to say, Green will be in a much better situation and won't have to undergo the college course grind.

The NBA made some unfortunate news last night when they announced the season is suspended. Though the chatter surrounding banning spectators was running rampant, the league decided to cancel the rest of the season altogether after Rudy Gobert tested positive for Coronavirus. That being said, 2 Chainz, a man who could’ve played in the league if he had not picked up a microphone, is staying on full alert about the pandemic.

Taking to Instagram, 2 Chainz reacted to both the news of the NBA being canceled and Rudy Robert’s Coronavirus test results. The rapper was clearly alert to the matter but he’s taking seriously now; announcing that he’ll be canceling shopping sprees anytime soon. “This is really happening !! I think after I leave this chrome hearts store and spend this 20 ! It will be the last thing I buy until further notice,” he said.

But what made 2 Chainz really take this matter seriously is the announcement that even the G-League would be canceled. “This virus Definitely has my attention and is also affecting so many people in so many different ways,” he added along with a screenshot of the G-League’s official announcement.

The Coronavirus pandemic is expected to impact roughly one-third of the American population. During a private meeting with staffers, a Congressional doctor reportedly said that 70M to 150M Americans will contract COVID-19. However, there is a high recovery rate of 80%.

Steph Curry will most likely go down as the greatest shooter in the history of the NBA. His style of play helped the Golden State Warriors win three NBA championships in the span of five seasons. Coming into the 2019-2020 campaign, it was known that the Warriors weren’t going to be as good as they were in previous seasons. Curry’s broken hand injury pretty well confirmed these suspicions. Now, the team is dead last in the NBA and are on track to get a lottery pick.

Curry has been working hard to rehab himself and yesterday, he was assigned to the G-League for a quick scrimmage with the Santa Cruz Warriors. According to David Lombardi of The Athletic, Curry was playing like his old self and it appears as though he will most likely return on March 5th when the Warriors take on the Toronto Raptors.

“You can’t replicate a game in 2-on-2 or 3-on-3,” Santa Cruz coach Kris Weems explained when asked about Curry’s short stint in the G-League. “He needed that 5-on-5, all five guys moving around, take some bumps. The physicality is what’s going to be important for him to feel comfortable in a game, so we got him that in a game.”

It remains to be seen if Curry will, in fact, suit up on Thursday night although if he does, it will surely be quite the spectacle. Warriors fans haven’t had many reasons to cheer this season but Curry’s return would certainly be an occasion to be happy again.

Many of you reading this probably saw the headline and wondered what kind of clickbait was about to be bestowed upon you. Here is the thing, everything about the headline is factually correct. So please be kind in the comments section. With that being said, let's get into it, shall we?

If you've been paying attention to the NBA this season, you know that the Golden State Warriors have been terrible, most notably because they've been missing key players like Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. Curry has been out with a broken hand and is expected to return to the lineup very soon. In preparation for this, Curry has been sent down to the Santa Cruz Warriors of the G-League, according to reporter Logan Murdock.
