So why was he here and playing in an NBA game? Serious question, how does that work? Can they call up G leaguers like MLB does with the minors?

Lester is on a 2 way contract.

I don't think that helped. Can you explain a little more in-depth? I don't know what "2-way contract" means.

It's a guaranteed NBA contract where a player plays for a team's G League affiliate and can play up to 45 days with the NBA team.

players on those contracts can bounce back and forth between the big club and the G League, like AAA baseball and the big club

No more than 50 games in the NBA on a two-way.

I think they are paid minimum per game for NBA, but I won't guarantee that part is true.

Hopefully Kendrick can get his contract next season. He’s tearing it up at Santa Cruz. 14 assists last night.

I was at this game during the snow. The Hardaway Brothers were also there Courtside. We were still Top 10 in the country....

Lester played well and i think the place was empty enough that he was definitely able to hear me cheer for him.

And making more in NIL money.

I saw a few minutes of the Golden State-Phoenix game and Lester got quite a bit of playing time. I think he hit two 3's while I was watching.

Congrats, Lester!

Who says you need to be drafted.

(Thanks, golden state! )
