Basketball player Amjyot Singh Gill, the power forward from Chandigarh, has signed the standard NBA Development League player contract making him eligible to get drafted into the D-League. The D League or Development League is a key stepping stone towards making a cut to the NBA.Im both nervous and excited. I am motivated with the desire to do whatever it takes to make it to the NBA. Whatever happens, this is an opportunity for me to get exposure and understand the workings of the League, Amjyot said.Amjyot now has a chance to become an official D-League player in any of the 22 D-League teams currently affiliated to their parent franchise in the NBA. From thereon, he could be called-up to the parent NBA franchise anytime in the upcoming season on short 10-day contracts or for longer durations.Playing in the D-League in the long term also opens up opportunities in other elite leagues in Europe, Australia, South America or China. Over the last three seasons around 15% of NBA D-League athletes (or an average of 39 players per season) have received a call-up to the NBA.Amjyot was a part of the Indian team that guided India into the quarterfinals of the 2015 FIBA Asia Championship. He, along with Amritpal Singh, who was also in the Indian team at the FIBA Asia Championship, moved to Japan last year.

According to a report from the Vancouver Province, the Lions are expected to replace former DC Rich Stubler with defensive backs coach Mark Washington. CINCINNATI, Ohio -- The Reds put right-handed reliever Jonathan Broxton on the 15-day disabled list Saturday with a sore pitching elbow, expecting to have him back in two weeks. Broxtons elbow bothered him during the week. He had an ultrasound on Friday that found swelling in the elbow. Manager Dusty Baker said the problem doesnt appear to be serious. "Actually, it turned out better than it could have," Baker said. "Theres no structural damage, no ligament damage. Thats a big plus. This will give it time to clear up. He could be throwing in two or three days, so its not too bad of a situation. He could be ready to go when his time is up." Broxton pitched the 14th inning and took the loss in a 6-5 defeat at Wrigley Field on Thursday. Baker was trying not to use him, but the long game forced his hand. "They assured us in the beginning that we couldnt make it worse by pitching," Baker said. "If it had been structural, we wouldve put him on the DL right away. If anything, were overly cautious, especially at this time of year.ddddddddddddIf it was September, it might be a different story." The Reds replaced him on the roster -- at least temporarily -- by calling up right-handed starter Pedro Villarreal, who was brought up from Triple-A Louisville earlier in the month to make an emergency start for Johnny Cueto. Villarreal lasted 3 2-3 innings in a 12-4 loss to Colorado on June 5 at Great American Ball Park, giving up 10 hits, six runs and three homers. He was sent back to Louisville. Cueto is on the disabled list for the second time this season with soreness behind his right shoulder. The Reds plan to activate him on Sunday to start the final game of the series against Milwaukee. The Reds called up left-hander Tony Cingrani to start in Cuetos spot last week. Baker said theres a chance Cingrani could stay on the roster when Cueto is activated, giving Cincinnati another reliever for its worn-down bullpen. The Reds played back-to-back extra-inning games on Thursday and Friday. ' ' '
