Coachella Valley Lakers

The Coachella Valley Lakers are the NBA G League affiliate for the Los Angeles Lakers.  They play their games in the all-new UCLA Health Training Center in El Segundo, which doubles as the practice facility for the Los Angeles Lakers.

In July 2006, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Buss family became the first NBA franchise to own an NBA Development League team, the Los Angeles D-Fenders. The D-Fenders became the South Bay Lakers, but remain committed to providing the highest quality of emerging talent.
