The NBA G League International Challenge was an international professional basketball tournament featuring all-star selections of the NBA G League. Its purpose is to allow players from the National Basketball Association (NBA)'s development league to play games against clubs, league all-star selections, and national teams from around the world.[1][2][3]
The games themselves are played under FIBA rules, which differ slightly from the NBA's rules. The basketball court's markings and dimensions also slightly differ.
