The Emirates NBA Cup 2025 is around the corner -- games tip off on Oct. 31 -- with sleek-styled courts for all 30 teams.
Each team will play four group-play games on designated "Cup Nights." Teams have been placed into groups of five -- they'll play two games at home and two on the road. Eight teams -- the best team in each group with two wild-card teams from each conference -- will advance to the knockout rounds, with a chance to win the NBA Cup trophy.
Continuing a previously established tradition, each team will have a competition-specific court, designed by artist Victor Solomon, containing distinct team gradients and Cup trophy designs on each key and center court.
Team slogans and trademark designs are featured along the sideline for some teams.
Prior Cup champions, the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Lakers, will have the year they won the Cup on the base of the trophy at center court.
Here is the 2025 edition of NBA Cup court designs across the league.
