The South Bay Lakers are an American professional basketball team in the NBA G League based in Los Angeles. Founded in 2006 as the Los Angeles D-Fenders, the team is owned by the Los Angeles Lakers, who were the first National Basketball Association (NBA) franchise to own a D-League team. The team was renamed for its metro region after the 2016–17 D-League season, when it moved home games from the Toyota Sports Center in El Segundo to the nearby UCLA Health Training Center, a new practice facility for the Los Angeles Lakers.[4]
All games are broadcast in streaming audio from the team's website and on the NBA's Futurecast web channel. On December 21, 2012, the D-Fenders announced a telecast agreement with TWC SportsNet Channel (now Spectrum SportsNet).[5]
