The NBA has kept its promise to print “Black Lives Matter” on the court for the league restart in Orlando.
On Tuesday, the league unveiled the new court, giving journalists a tour of the “bubble.” Black Lives Matter is written on the floor with a large glossy black print.

Instead of having game stations on a table outside the center court, they will be enclosed in Plexiglas panels creating a separation between them and the players.
The players and coaches bench consists of dozens of separate folding chairs, each measured 6 feet from the next chair.
The entire court is surrounded by large video screens, where virtual fans and signage like “making noise,” usually found on a JumboTron, could appear.
