One week from today, the Boston Celtics will square off against the Philadelphia 76ers to open up their group play in the Emirates NBA Cup. The Cup was first introduced in 2023, serving as a way for the league to add some extra stakes to early-season matchups.
Though actually winning the competition doesn’t hold much weight, the games themselves add some flair to November basketball, most notably with the special NBA Cup courts. These unique floor designs stray away from traditional hardwood coloring and are painted to coincide with each team’s colors.
Boston’s design, along with all 29 other teams’, was released this afternoon.
