NBA G League has released an official statement after it has reached a “mutual decision” that Kai Sotto would not be able to rejoin Ignite.
Kai Zachary Perlado Sotto is a Filipino basketball player. He stands at 7 feet 2 inches (2.18 m).
Before joining the NBA G League, he was a part of the Ateneo Blue Eaglets in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP).
Last May 2020, he signed a contract with NBA G League Ignite as part of the league’s new developmental program.
However, it was recently announced that it has reached a “mutual decision” that Sotto would not be able to rejoin Ignite.
Here’s the official statement:
“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.”

There will be better opportunities for Kai other than IGNITE and coach Shaw. He deserves better than what GLeague can offer. GOD BLESS 🙏 KAI MABUHAY KA
