The Denver Nuggets have added the Grand Rapids Drive as a G League affiliate team, entering a "hybrid partnership."

ANALYSIS: Stein adds that the Drive will announce a new team name soon. The Detroit Pistons, who were previously affiliated with the team, are taking on the ex-Northern Arizona Suns team, which is moving to the Michigan area in the eventual future. This leaves the Phoenix Suns and Portland Trail Blazers as the only NBA franchises without a G League pairing.
