What is nba g league playoffs?

The NBA G League playoffs are the postseason tournament for the NBA G League, the official minor league basketball organization of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The playoffs typically begin in early April, with the top eight teams from each conference qualifying for the postseason.

The NBA G League playoffs use a single-elimination tournament format, with each playoff series being a best-of-three format. The first round of the playoffs features four matchups within each conference, with the winners advancing to the conference semifinals. The conference semifinals and finals are also best-of-three series, with the winners of each conference facing off in a single-game championship game.

The NBA G League playoff champion is awarded the NBA G League Championship Trophy, and the team with the best regular-season record is awarded the Kevin Daly Trophy.

The NBA G League playoffs serve as a potential stepping stone for players looking to make it to the NBA, as well as a showcase for up-and-coming coaches and front office executives. Many current NBA stars, including Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Pascal Siakam, have played in the NBA G League before making it to the NBA.
