Lakers Home Court Design For 2025 Emirates NBA Cup

There are six details shared by all 30 Emirates NBA Cup courts. The first is a team-based angled gradient that both signifies the host team’s primary colors and a direction with Western or Eastern Conference meaning. The Lakers court is centered around a gold gradient.

The court apron, purple in the Lakers’ case, is colored to match the Nike Statement Edition uniforms. The home team will wear those jerseys in every Emirates NBA Cup game. Every court also is on a symbolic 5×5 grid to represent the 5v5 nature of basketball.

Every court prominently features the host city or state at center court, the “LA” logo for the Lakers. Finally, each court has personalized overlays and details to represent the franchise’s history. For the Lakers, that’s the 17 championship stars on the sideline and the engraving at the bottom of the center-court trophy to represent their 2023 cup title.
