Jason Hart will become the next head coach of the G League Ignite. The Ignite are based in California, but are expected to play a more traditional G League schedule this year after participating in the G League bubble in Orlando last year.

Hart replaces Brian Shaw in the role, who left his position to become the top assistant coach for the Los Angeles Clippers.

Hart has been at USC since 2013, serving as associate head coach for the past four years.

The Los Angeles Clippers are in serious talks to hire Brian Shaw as an assistant coach on the staff of Tyronn Lue.

Shaw spent last season as head coach of the G League Ignite. 

Shaw last worked in the NBA from 2016 until 2019 as an assistant coach with the Los Angeles Lakers under Luke Walton. Previously, Shaw was head coach of the Denver Nuggets.
