On a recent appearance with Burns & Gambo on Arizona Sports 98.7, Phoenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia talked about the importance of the G League. He even teased a major announcement when asked by John Gambadoro about the Suns being the only NBA team without their own G League affilitate.

“That won’t be something you’ll be talking about in a week or two, how about that?” Ishbia replied to the question.

Ishbia later added, “We’re gonna continue to invest in our team. We’re gonna invest in our future. And a G League team is important.”

The Suns previously had a G League team, but former owner Robert Sarver chose to sell the Northern Arizona Suns, who were then relocated. The Portland Trail Blazers recently announced that the Rip City Remix will begin play this upcoming season. That leaves Phoenix as the only NBA team without their own G League affiliate.
