Colorado 14ers News Release
Broomfield, Colo. - The Colorado 14ers basketball team from the NBA Development League will tip off the 2006-07 inaugural season with a two-game road trip Nov. 24-25 against the Idaho Stampede. The 14ers will host the Los Angeles Lakers' development league team Dec. 1 in the first basketball game played at the new Broomfield Event Center.
With seven new markets and 12 teams for 2006-07, the D-League will be divided into divisions for the first time. The Colorado 14ers will join the Albuquerque Thunderbirds, Anaheim Arsenal, Bakersfield Jam, Idaho Stampede and Los Angeles to make up the Western Division. The Arkansas RimRockers, Austin Toros, Dakota Wizards, Fort Worth Flyers, Sioux Falls Sky Force and Tulsa 66ers will comprise the Eastern Division.
The 14ers' 50-game regular season schedule features 30 contests within the Western Division and 39 weekend games (Fri-Sun). In addition, the first ever D-League All-Star Game is set for Saturday, Feb. 17 to be played during Jam Session at the 2007 NBA All-Star Weekend in Las Vegas. It will be televised by NBA TV. Teams representing the Eastern and Western Divisions of the D-League will be selected by a vote that includes fans, as well as D-League players and coaches. D-League All-Star Game voting procedures will be finalized and released in the near future. The head coach of the team with the best record in each division two weeks prior to the All-Star game will coach the teams.
"We are delighted to have the first D-League All-Star Game as part of NBA All-Star Weekend," D-League President Phil Evans said. "This will be an experience our players will long remember, and coupled with our annual Showcase in January, affords NBA teams an additional avenue to gather at one location to see the best the D-League has to offer."
