The NBA and streaming service Twitch have come to an agreement to broadcast G League games on the platform beginning Dec. 15, the two companies announced on Wednesday.

With the partnership, at least six G League games a week will be broadcasted on Twitch. Previously called the D League, the NBA's developmental league games have been broadcasted across the ESPN networks, NBA TV and Facebook Live. After the games air, they will be available on demand from the G League Twitch channel's video library.

I miss the YouTube streams, but it'll be Facebook Live and some games on Twitch moving forward to catch some Raptors 905.

This medium is used for streaming video games I find. I've seen a few that were good quality, so I'm happy!

For the last year and a half its been branching out to IRL streams. I love watching Andy milonakis, Reckful and Sodapoppin streams. Besides basketball and a few downloaded shows I watch a lot of twitch nowadays. I'm just hoping this puts pressure on Twitch to finally starting enforcing their TOS. The site has been looking more like a cam girl site as of late.

And twitch was always justin.tv's gaming focused side so it's funny to see them extend back outwards towards non-gaming stuff again with twitch itself.

Cool that G-League games are gonna be so accessible. The chat should be suitably hilarious/toxic as always.
