The NBA is still navigating through uncharted waters in an effort to finish out the 2019-20 regular season after it was suspended in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Regardless, this has not prevented them from proceeding with business as usual when it comes to some of the league’s partnerships. Among the most notable is that of their contract with Spalding.
The NBA is now nearing the end of its deal with Spalding as their manufacturer, and they have already found their replacement in Wilson. A multiyear global partnership will make Wilson the official game ball of the NBA, WNBA, NBA G League, NBA 2K League and Basketball Africa League for the 2021-22 season.
