NEW YORK — The NBA's in-season tournament will feature new court designs. All 30 teams, when playing home games in the tournament that starts Friday and runs through Dec.
9, will have a primarily solid-color court on the floor of their arenas. The courts will be fully painted, with no visible woodgrain.
The league first released the designs to ESPN, one of its broadcast partners, Monday. The league did not say what the cost of the project was.
The courts all largely follow the same design scheme, with the NBA Cup — the tournament's trophy — displayed both at midcourt and in the lanes, a 16-foot-wide runway in a contrasting color down the center of the floor and team names on the baseline.
