The NBA Development League’s Los Angeles D-Fenders, the first franchise in D-League history to be owned by an NBA team (Los Angeles Lakers), will return for its eighth season of competition in 2014-15. The D-Fenders franchise has quickly established itself as a top producer of NBA-ready talent, totaling 18 NBA Call-Ups and developing 15 Lakers assignment players since the inaugural 2006-07 season. In addition, the D-Fenders became the first team in league history to win the Development Champion award (2011-12), which is an honor given to the team that best embodies the NBA D-League's goals of developing NBA basketball talent via call-ups and assignments. The D-Fenders also claimed the franchise’s second Western Division Championship last season, joining the division title earned during the 2011-12 season.
For the fourth consecutive season, the D-Fenders will play all home games at Toyota Sports Center; the Lakers practice facility in El Segundo, CA.
