The NBA G League International Challenge was an international professional basketball tournament featuring all-star selections of the NBA G League. Its purpose is to allow players from the National Basketball Association (NBA)'s development league to play games against clubs, league all-star selections, and national teams from around the world.[1][2][3]
The games themselves are played under FIBA rules, which differ slightly from the NBA's rules. The basketball court's markings and dimensions also slightly differ.
History
The first NBA G League International Challenge was the 2018 edition. It featured an all-star selection of NBA G League players[4] coached by Jeff Van Gundy, that made up Team USA's 2019 FIBA World Cup Americas qualifiers team at the time,[5] versus the senior men's Mexican national basketball team. Team USA won the game, by a score of 88–67.[6] The 2019 edition of the tournament expanded the format to 6 teams,[7] and was won by the German EuroLeague club Bayern Munich.[8][9]
There has been no challenge since 2020.
