After former owner Robert Sarver sold the Suns’ former G League affiliate, the Northern Arizona Suns, to Detroit, it wasn’t long before the Suns became the only NBA organization that didn’t have its own G League affiliate. Josh Bartelstein was part of the Detroit organization that bought the Suns’ G League affiliate, but now he can say he helped bring the G League back to Phoenix. “Ironically enough, I was the one on the other side buying the team from the Suns and getting it to Detroit, and now three years later, I’m here,” Bartelstein laughed. “It’s really, really important. I mean, the G-League is a staple of many NBA franchises.”
