The NBA is gearing up for the third Emirates NBA Cup, and to celebrate, all 30 teams will play on brand-new, eye-catching courts. These vibrant designs were revealed ahead of the tournament’s start on October 31, promising a fresh visual experience for fans watching the games.
🎨 A Fresh Look for the Tournament
The unique court designs were created by artist Victor Solomon, who also designed last season’s popular courts. Each court is fully painted with a striking gradient design, moving away from traditional hardwood floors to give the tournament a special and modern feel. This is the third year of the tournament, and the custom courts have become a signature part of the event.
🔍 Special Details on Every Floor
Each design is personalized for the home team, featuring their logos and colors prominently. What makes these courts extra special are the hidden details. For example, the two previous NBA Cup champions will have unique elements on their floors to celebrate their wins. Solomon, who also worked on the NBA Cup trophy with Tiffany & Co., has made sure each court tells a unique story.
🗓️ Get Ready for Tip-Off
The tournament action begins with Group Play, running on Fridays from October 31 to November 28. After the group stage, eight teams will advance to the Knockout Rounds. The competition will conclude with the Semifinals and Finals held in Las Vegas on December 13 and 16, where one team will be crowned the champion.
