Former Pinkston guard Dink Pate is signing with the NBA G League’s Mexico City Capitanes after the shutdown of G League Ignite’s program, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported on Friday.
Just over a year ago, Pate announced his decision to forgo college and sign with the G League Ignite. Pate was the youngest player to sign with the G League ever, and the first from Dallas-Fort Worth to do so.
A 6-8 guard, Pate was the No. 21 player in 247Sports.com’s national class of 2024 rankings and the second-ranked player in Texas. He was The News’ newcomer of the year in 2021 at Pinkston and split his sophomore season between Prolific Prep (Calif.) and Lancaster. He returned to Pinkston as a junior and averaged 20.3 points per game. He was named the District 13-4A MVP in 2022.
In 31 games with G League Ignite last season, Pate averaged 8.0 points and 3.8 assists. He’s projected to be a first-round pick in next year’s draft.

DALLAS – Dallas police need a name for a dangerous robber who pulled a gun on a 7-Eleven clerk and walked out with the cash register drawer.
He was caught on camera. But it’s been six months, and he’s still at large.
What we know:
The robbery in question happened on Jan. 13 around 10:30 p.m. at the store at 302 North Marsalis Avenue.
A Black male who is about 5 feet 8 inches tall and about 170 to 180 pounds walked in and waited until no other customers were inside.
“After it’s empty, he displays a handgun and points it at the cashier,” said Det. Eduardo Lopez Villa. “I don’t know what he said. He just demanded the cash from the cash register.”
Det. Villa said the suspect took the whole cash register drawer before fleeing eastbound on foot on 8th Street.
What you can do:
The detective believes anyone who knows the suspect will be able to recognize him.
“Yes, most definitely based on the video and the screenshot. If you know him, you’ll recognize him,” he said.
Tipsters can call or text Det. Villa at 469-755-8445.
“I need his information so I can talk to him about this incident,” he said.
