The National Basketball Association and the NBA Development League, the official minor league of the NBA, today announced the affiliation system for the 2010-11 season, including first-time affiliations between the Dallas Mavericks and the Frisco-based Texas Legends, new to the NBA D-League for the 2010-11 season; the Los Angeles Lakers and the Bakersfield Jam; the Golden State Warriors and the Reno Bighorns; and the Orlando Magic and the New Mexico Thunderbirds. For the sixth consecutive year, each NBA team has one NBA D-League affiliate to which it may assign players in their first or second NBA season.

The NBA D-League will again have 16 teams playing in 2009-10, including the Texas Legends, who will tip off their inaugural season under the guidance of head coach Nancy Lieberman in November.

My question is what happened to the LA D-fenders?

[McDunkin]

D-Fenders, Lakers’ minor league affiliate, will take one-year hiatus
Jerry Buss will remain the owner of the NBA Development League team, which is to relocate from Staples Center when it returns.
