The G League is back . or will be soon. Reports out of Forbes Sports Money and ESPN suggest preparations will begin in three weeks with a targeted Opening Night in early February. And for the first time, veteran players will be permitted to join G League rosters.
According to a tweet from Adam Zagoria of Forbes Sports Money on Thursday, the G League will begin preparing for a shortened season on January 13 with an “at-home” quarantine for all their players and staff. Games, according to Zagoria, won’t begin until February 8.
WALKING TOUR: Nine months on, Barclays Center still empty but things have changed

It’s been nine months since the Nets last played a regular season game at Barclays Center and a lot has changed. So that if you haven’t been back to the corner of Flatbush and Atlantic since then, you’re likely to be surprised at what’s happened since COVID-19 emptied the arena.
So, I went to Barclays Center before the Nets/Celtics to check everything out.
First things first. That tower on the left is 51 stories tall. It’s topped out and will be filled out over the next year. What you can’t see from this angle is another new tower a block away down Flatbush Avenue, that one 26 stories high.
