ESPN reporter Malika Andrews has tweeted a first look at the NBA’s refreshed court inside of Disney’s ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.
Chairs several feet apart act as a socially-distanced bench.

The NBA on ESPN Twitter later revealed a closer look at the court, which features the phrase “Black Lives Matter” in large black letters. The NBA is comprised of about 80% Black players.
NBA players are currently living in a “bubble” at Walt Disney World. NBA announced yesterday that no players have tested positive for COVID-19 since July 13. Even though they will be playing together on the same court, the socially distanced chairs still mitigate the risk for players, coaches, and reporters.
