- The Ontario Clippers relocated to San Diego and rebranded as the San Diego Clippers.[1]
- The NBA shut down the franchise NBA G League Ignite after four seasons.[2]
- Phoenix launched its new G League affiliate, the Valley Suns, this season in Tempe, Arizona, becoming the 31st NBA G League franchise.[3] All 30 NBA franchises have their own G League affiliates for the first time ever.
- The Showcase Cup was renamed to the Tip–Off Tournament.
