The NBA is here in the Las Vegas market. No, not the NBA Summer League at UNLV’s Thomas & Mack Center.
It’s the NBA’s G League Ignite, a minor league, player-development team that is likely to feed the Association with some top players in the future.
The Ignite is not affiliated with any NBA team. It’s run by the NBA, which struck a deal with Golden Knights owner Bill Foley’s sports group to have the Ignite play its home games at The Dollar Loan Center in the Green Valley section of Henderson off the 215.
Game ticket prices will be flexed, so they will be going up and down depending on the ticket demand and opponent. Individual game tickets will start at $18.
Here’s a look at season ticket prices. The cheapest ticket under season tickets is 11 bucks a seat.
Fans got autographs from the Ignite players, like high-profile guys like six-foot, two-inch Sterling “Scoot” Henderson and Shareef O’Neal, son of former NBA great Shaquille O’Neal. Shareef O’Neal was not drafted in the NBA Draft and spent the Summer League in Las Vegas with the Los Angeles Lakers. Then he signed a contract with the Ignite in hopes of making an NBA roster one day.
Wednesday’s session was set for 4-7 PM, which included opportunities for fans to pick their seats. Tuesday was media day.
The Ignite’s season-opener is Nov. 4 at The Dollar Loan Center.
