There is just over one month remaining in the 2024-25 NBA regular season before the play-in tournament and playoffs begin.
The NBA G League playoffs begin on April 1.
Meanwhile, some players are on two-way contracts, meaning they have been going back and forth between the G League and the NBA.
The most notable one is Los Angeles Lakers rookie Bronny James, the son of LeBron James, who has flip-flopped between the Lakers' NBA team and G-League affiliate, South Bay Lakers.
However, Utah Jazz center Oscar Tshiebwe, is on a two-way contract as well as has been busy between both leagues.

In fact, Tshiebwe played in three games within 24 hours.
On Sunday, Tshiebwe played with the Jazz in a 128-121 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. In that game, Tshiebwe had 16 points and 13 rebounds for his first career double-double in the NBA.
Tshiebwe then suited up for the Salt Lake City Stars (the Jazz G League affiliate) on Monday morning against the Iowa Wolves. In that game, Tshiebwe played a whopping 38 minutes with 21 points and 30 (!) rebounds.
Hours later, Tshiebwe suited up for the Jazz in the NBA showdown against the Detroit Pistons, playing just a handful of minutes.
It's quite the turnaround for Tshiebwe, who played a total of 63 minutes of game time in 24 hours between the G League and the NBA.
Tshiebwe was a star for the Kentucky Wildcats, where he spent his final two seasons of college after beginning his career at West Virginia. He was named the National Player of the Year and SEC Player of the Year as a junior, but he went undrafted in 2023 before signing with the Indiana Pacers.
All in all, after three games in 24 hours, Tshiebwe then played 19 minutes on Wednesday as the Jazz lost to the Washington Wizards.
