Assignment Players

Team History | NBA Call-Ups | Assignment Players | Coaching History

NBA teams can assign players with less than three years of service to their NBA G-League affiliates 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 its 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 him.

The NBA teams without NBA G-League affiliates can assign players through the flexible assignment system.

In total, 28 NBA players have been assigned to the South Bay Lakers:
