The January 2021 NBA G League draft was the 20th draft of the NBA G League. The draft, originally scheduled to be held in October 2020 prior to the 2020–21 G League season, was postponed until January 11, 2021 due to concerns caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] The 2020–21 season was also delayed, instead starting in February 2021.[1]
Admiral Schofield was selected by the Greensboro Swarm with the first overall pick.[2] The draft lasted three rounds and was limited to only the 17 teams who were going to be playing in the "G League Bubble" in Orlando, Florida.[2]
