What is the NBA Developmental League (NBADL)?
The NBA Developmental League (NBADL) is a separate league run in affiliation with the NBA. Teams may assign up to two of their players to an NBADL team. Only players with fewer than two years’ experience may be assigned to an NBADL team, and each player can be assigned no more than three times per season. If an active player is assigned, he is automatically placed on the team’s Inactive List. There is no minimum or maximum length of an NBADL assignment, and players have 48 hours to report to the NBADL team once they are assigned. Players continue to receive their NBA salary while assigned to the NBADL. NBADL rosters are normally 10 players, but can expand to 12 to accommodate assigned NBA players. In some cases where one team might be overstocked with assignees or players at a particular position, players might be reassigned to a different team. NBA teams do not control the playing time their assignees receive — that matter is up to the discretion of the NBADL coaches. Further informa
