Player Transactions deadline extended
The new date for player trasnactions has been extended and and is set for February 10th, 2022. This also includes current players being allowed to be released, signed or traded to a different team. There has been a growing concern from captains regarding their rosters. With Covid running ramp-it and affecting the teams player availability (quarantine or ill) hopefully, this will help all teams as we don't know the foreseeable future and how it can or will affect the league. A handful of players with respectable credentials have contacted the league office with intrest to join the league. Those players will be further evaluated as the LBA is always looking to add players that have a high level of experience albeit college, semi pro, G League, oversease or even NBA talent.
