NBA G League coaches, general managers and players voted on the top performers from the first half of the season from their respective conferences, based on the performance of players in games through Jan. 21, 2018. Eligibility for players to be selected for recognition was based on having played in 50 percent of their team's games through Jan. 21 and being on an Active Roster. Two-way players and players on assignment from the NBA are eligible to both vote for and receive Midseason All-NBA G League recognition.
The Sevens' next home game is on Monday, Feb. 5 at 6:30 p.m. ET when the team takes on the Agua Caliente Clippers of Ontario at the Bob Carpenter Center.
