Thankfully, it’s easy on the eyes!
The Philadelphia 76ers officially released their In-Season Tournament (rebranded as the Emirates NBA Cup) court design for the 2024-25 season. The court will be used in several games in the first half of the season.

For how polarizing these court designs are, the Sixers got a pretty good one this season. The center-court logo features the In-Season Tournament trophy, followed with a rough outline of the Sixers’ primary logo. The court, which is packed full of color, features several shades of blue which should be much easier on fans’ eyes compared to last season’s all-red design.
Compared to other teams, it could’ve been much worse. For example, the Atlanta Hawks’ court features a primarily yellow/gold design that is bound to burn retinas across the country.

This season, the Sixers will be in Group A, which features the New York Knicks, Orlando Magic, Brooklyn Nets and Charlotte Hornets. With the Sixers, Knicks and Magic all vying for tops spots in the conference, it could lead to some competitive matchups for reasons beyond an In-Season Tournament victory.
The Sixers will debut this court design starting Nov. 12 against New York. If you want to see it in person you’ll have to attend one of the following games being hosted at the Wells Fargo Center:
Nov. 12 vs. New York Knicks
Nov. 22 vs. Brooklyn Nets
Dec. 10, 11 or 14 (quarter-finals, semi-finals)*
*Games may or may not be played depending on how the Sixers do in the tournament.
