2010-11 NBA Development League Schedule Highlighted by Inaugural Season for Texas Legends

August 9, 2010 - NBA G League (G League) News Release


NEW YORK, Aug. 9, 2010 - The NBA Development League today released its schedule for the 2010-11 season, which includes the inaugural games for head coach Nancy Lieberman and the Frisco-based Texas Legends. More than two-thirds of games during the 2010-11 season will be played on weekends, allowing NBA D-League fans and families to catch more of the action while enjoying affordable family-friendly prices.

Fans can stay in step with their favorite team on NBA Futurecast where they can watch every minute of 2010-11 NBA D-League action live online for free at www.nba.com/futurecast.

The 10th NBA D-League season begins Friday, Nov. 19, with four games, including a matchup between the 2009-10 NBA D-League regular season Eastern Conference Champion Iowa Energy, affiliated with the Chicago Bulls and Phoenix Suns, and the Dakota Wizards, affiliated with the Memphis Grizzlies and Washington Wizards. Also slated for opening night is a game between the 2010 NBA D-League Finalist Tulsa 66ers, who are owned and operated by the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Bakersfield Jam, affiliated with the Los Angeles Clippers and Los Angeles Lakers.

The 2010 NBA D-League Champion Rio Grande Valley Vipers, the affiliates of the Houston Rockets, tip off their 2010-11 season at home, taking on the expansion Texas Legends who are owned by Donnie Nelson and are affiliated with the Dallas Mavericks, on Sunday, Nov. 21 in an in-state matchup at the State Farm Arena in south Texas.

"Coming off of an exciting 2009-10 season with a record-breaking number of GATORADE Call-Ups to the NBA, over one million game attendees, and millions more watching our games on VERSUS, NBA TV and NBA Futurecast, we are very excited to tip off what is sure to be another dynamic year on and off the court," Dan Reed, NBA D-League President said. "With more games than ever being played on weekends, more fans and families alike will be able to watch top NBA prospects at affordable prices in a fast-paced, fun and family-oriented environment."

The NBA D-League All-Star Game and NBA D-League Dream Factory festivities, which will be part of NBA Jam Session presented by adidas at NBA All-Star 2011 in Los Angeles, highlight the schedule in February. The league's top prospects take to the court for the fifth annual NBA D-League All-Star Game on Saturday, Feb. 19 on Center Court at Jam Session presented by adidas. The league's top stars will also compete in Dream Factory, the NBA D-League's skills competition featuring high-flying dunkers and sharp shooters displaying their talents.

The sixth Annual NBA D-League Showcase tips off in South Padre Island, Texas in January, as all 16 teams play two games each at the South Padre Island Convention Center. Top NBA prospects display their talents in front of an expected gathering of scouts from all 30 NBA teams, while putting on a show for their fans. The Showcase has historically been a springboard for GATORADE Call-Ups to the NBA, with players such as two-time NBA Champion Shannon Brown, along with Sundiata Gaines, Cartier Martin and Chuck Hayes all getting the call following their performance in the winter classic.

For the second consecutive year, the NBA D-League will feature two conferences, East and West, with the Texas Legends replacing the Los Angeles D-Fenders in the Western Conference. The Eastern Conference will consist of the Dakota Wizards, Erie BayHawks, Fort Wayne Mad Ants, Iowa Energy, Maine Red Claws, Sioux Falls Skyforce and Springfield Armor, while the Western Conference includes the Austin Toros, Bakersfield Jam, Idaho Stampede, New Mexico Thunderbirds, Reno Bighorns, Rio Grande Valley Vipers, Texas Legends, Tulsa 66ers and Utah Flash.
