The NBA unveiled unique designs for the In-Season Tournament courts on Monday, and there was a lot to unwrap. While some teams understood the assignment, others played it too safe — and, of course, some tried to do a little too much.
There have been plenty of alternate jerseys over the years, but this is the first time the NBA has implemented an alternate court for all 30 teams. The inaugural In-Season Tournament will tip off on Nov. 3 and concludes with the championship game on Dec. 9. Until then, let’s have some fun examining the designs.
30. Washington Wizards
It’s not a requirement to use the team’s main colors, but it feels like that would make the most sense. No hate on teal as it’s a great color, but overall this looks more like a court for the WNBA’s New York Liberty.
29. San Antonio Spurs
The Spurs don’t deserve to be dead last because they took a chance, but it just didn’t work out. Although it was clever to try to use the Fiesta colors, this is giving Seattle SuperSonics nostalgia.
