Four additional cities -- Charlotte, N.C., Philadelphia, Houston, and Newark -- will also be refurbished this summer, with NBA FIT clinics to be held at each location on the day the courts are unveiled.
“Our court refurbishment initiative with the NBA will provide young athletes with increased access to train, practice and play basketball in an environment that promotes an active and healthy lifestyle,” said Matt Mirchin, SVP, Global Brand and Sports Marketing. “Revamping each of these basketball courts is a reflection of our continuous efforts to help the next generation of young athletes reach their on-court and off-court potential.”
