Ignite statement re: Kai Sotto


The NBA G League released this statement about international prospect Kai Sotto.

NBA G League Ignite and international prospect Kai Sotto of the Philippines today announced the mutual decision that Sotto will not re-join Ignite.  With the team’s permission, Sotto left Ignite in January to train with the Philippines National Team at the FIBA Asia Cup Qualifying Tournament in Qatar before that event was cancelled. 

“Kai and the team both understood the challenges for him to rejoin Ignite given the current international travel constraints, quarantine times and health and safety protocols,” said NBA G League President Shareef Abdur-Rahim.  “Kai will always be part of the extended Ignite family and we wish him continued success as he pursues his NBA dreams.”

Sotto played in a couple of scrimmages for the Ignite, averaging 5.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks against a group of G League veterans late last year.
