The Phoenix Suns are working toward launching a new G League team as soon as
the 2024-25 season, meaning all 30 NBA organizations will have G League
affiliates.
太阳队正在计划最早于2024-25 赛季创办一支新的Ｇ联盟球队，而这将意味着所有三十支
NBA 球队会有其Ｇ联盟的附属球队。
“Bringing a G League team to the Valley has been a priority for us, and I am
excited that we have begun the process and the wheels are in motion to have a
team in Phoenix as early as the 2024-25 season,” Mat Ishbia, owner of the
Suns and WNBA’s Mercury, told The Athletic in a statement. “Not only will
this allow us to develop young players within our winning culture, but also
will serve as an opportunity to expand our reach and connect with even more
basketball fans across the region.
太阳队和 WNBA 水星队的老板 Mat Ishbia 在提供给《运动家》的一份声明中说：
“带来一支Ｇ联盟球队一直是我们的要务，我很高兴能开启这个过程，而工作目前也正在
进行中，希望最早能在2024-25 赛季完成这个计划。这不仅能让我们在胜利的文化之下
培养年轻球员，也可借此机会扩大我们的影响力、和区内更多球迷联系起来。”
“This investment further strengthens our connection with the community and
continues to elevate Phoenix as the epicenter of basketball.”
“这个投资将进一步加强我们与社区之间的联系，并将持续提升凤凰城作为篮球中心的地
位。”
The Suns previously operated a G League affiliate called the Northern Arizona
Suns, whom ex-owner Robert Sarver sold to the Detroit Pistons in 2020. The
Suns have had recent success with the development of prospects in Ish
Wainwright and Saben Lee over the past two seasons. Wainwright is now on a
standard contract and Lee was re-signed on a two-way deal.
太阳队过去曾管理名为“北亚利桑那太阳”的附属球队，但后来在二零二零年被前老板沙
佛转卖给活塞队。在过去两个赛季间，太阳队在培养 Ish Wainwright 和Saben Lee 等潜
力球员方面取得了成功。目前 Wainwright 以标准合约留队，而Lee 则已与太阳队重新签
下双向合约。
The Suns’ plan to begin a new G League team is just another move made by
Ishbia and the franchise in the past two weeks. The Suns completed their
partnership with Gray Television, Inc., to create a new streaming outlet to
allow fans to watch their games for free beginning next season. It will give
more than 2.8 million homes in Arizona access to watch Suns and Mercury
contests — for free.
太阳队创办新Ｇ联盟球队的计划，只是在过去两个星期之间老板和球队本身的又一个举动
。早前发生的事：
　・太阳队与格雷电视签了一份合作协定，以创建一个新的串流媒体平台，供球迷免费观
　　看太阳队和水星队的比赛，预计涵盖亚利桑那州的超过二百八十万间家户。
The Mercury and WNBA also announced that Phoenix will host 2024 WNBA All-Star
Weekend.
　・水星队和 WNBA 宣布，凤凰城将主办二零二四年的 WNBA 全明星周末活动。
The Suns are set to enter next season as one of the favorites to compete for
a championship after adding Bradley Beal to fellow max contract players in
Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and Deandre Ayton. The team also landed Eric
Gordon, Yuta Watanabe, Keita Bates-Diop, Drew Eubanks and Bol Bol on minimum
free-agent deals.
在增添比尔进入包括顶薪合约球员 Devin Booker、Kevin Durant 和 Deandre Ayton在内
的阵容后，太阳队将成为其中一支下赛季的夺冠热门球队。此外，在底薪自由球员市场中
，该队得到了 Eric Gordon、渡边雄太、Keita Bates-Diop、Drew Eubanks 和Bol Bol。
备注：
新球队的名称目前暂时无法得知，只能先等著瞧了...
另外顺带一提：
根据早前的联盟官宣，篮网对骑士的其中一场例行赛赛事，将在明年一月于巴黎举行。
