The NBA is considering the possibility of running a bubble-based tournament featuring the Ignite, the new G League team led by a number of top amateur prospects, sources told The Athletic's Shams Charania.

The event, which could potentially include other teams comprised of undrafted players, would reportedly run in November and December.

The Ignite will be based in Walnut Creek, California, and will be coached by former Denver Nuggets head coach Brian Shaw. Their roster features a host of talents ranked highly among the top 2020 high school recruits.
