Look for two-way players Scotty Pippen Jr. and Cole Swider to get plenty of run.
Your Los Angeles Lakers’ NBA G League affiliate club in El Segundo, the South Bay Lakers, will tip off their 2022-23 season tonight at 5 p.m., against the Stockton Kings, NBAGL affiliate team for Sacramento.
Rookie two-way contract signings Scotty Pippen Jr. and Cole Swider, both practicing with South Bay at present, out to see significant minutes with L.A.’s development squad this season. Though Swider for now remains sidelined with a right foot stress reaction, Pippen, a point guard out of Villanova (and, yes, son of Chicago Bulls legend Scottie Pippen) is healthy and will suit up for South Bay.
Two-way players typically toggle between the G League and the NBA during the course of an NBA season. They are now able to appear in up to 50 of their team’s 82 games before their contracts must be converted to standard roster deals. Should a two-way player’s team want it to partake in the postseason, that club must convert the deal to a contract on its standard 15-man roster.
Broadcast information mostly comes via South Bay’s team website. The league has also announced in a press statement that two of South Bay’s games against the anticipated No. 2 pick in the 2023 draft, G League Ignite team point guard Scoot Henderson, will be broadcast on affiliate networks of ESPN.
