As reported by ESPN: The NBA G League released its regular-season schedule Wednesday, as its 18 teams descend on the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, for a four-week single-site tournament to crown its champion.

The G League Ignite will kick off the season Feb. 10 against the Santa Cruz Warriors (11 a.m. ET, ESPN2). All 15 Ignite games will be broadcast on ESPN2, ESPNU or ESPN+. The regular season will conclude March 6 and will be followed by a condensed playoff competition March 8-11 for the teams with the eight best records.

NBA teams have been asked to contribute between $400,000 and $500,000 to the venture, mostly to cover daily COVID-19 testing, food and medical care. Most teams are arriving in Orlando on Wednesday and will be asked to quarantine for several days before beginning practice.
