The Showcase is On!
The 2009 NBA D-League Showcase is under way in Orem, Utah this week. From Jan. 5-8, all 16 teams in the D-League will play twice at the McKay Event Center, one game counted as a home game, the other a road game, as all 30 NBA teams will have GM's and player personnel executives in attendance to scout all of the talent.
NBA teams are now permitted to sign 10-day contracts with players, so the D- League is on display this week to showcase the top talent outside of the Association. You too can catch all the action at the Showcase on NBA Futurecast at nba.com/dleague.
