Assignment Players

NBA teams can assign players with less than three years of service to their NBA G League affiliates for an unlimited number of times throughout the season. The NBA team maintains the assigned player's rights and can recall that player at any time. An NBA G League team's active roster may expand to up to 13 players if it's parent club assigns players from the NBA roster. However, assigning a player to the NBA G League does not free-up a roster spot on the NBA club that assigned them.

In total, 28 NBA players have been assigned to the South Bay Lakers. See below for the full list of player assignments.
