The NBA Bubble courts have been released on social media and they have a ‘Black Lives Matter’ logo on them.

All players, staff and NBA officials will have to wear masks whenever they are present near the courts.

Players, support staff or officials not wearing masks will face suspension.

The association has decided to extend its support to the Black community of America. The league is dominated by African-Americans and for the past few decades, discrimination and police brutality has increased in America against Black people.

To show support to the black community in America, the league has painted their arenas and courts with slogans like “Black lives Matter” and the players have also been allowed to wear social justice slogans on the back of their jersey.

All players will need to ensure that they comply with all NBA Bubble rules, so that the NBA Bubble can run smoothly and the 2019/20 season can come to a close.
