See the Nuggets’ new NBA Cup home court design for 2024 in-season tournament
Denver Post
The Nuggets have a new court for their in-season tournament home games this year, and it’s a bit more modest.
Unlike the predominantly royal blue court that was rolled out at Ball Arena for the inaugural tournament in 2023, Denver’s floor will be yellow in the second edition of the event, now called the Emirates NBA Cup. It’s one of four courts around the league that will be painted yellow or gold, a somewhat more natural hue for hardwood.

The baselines and sidelines surrounding the Nuggets’ court will be painted a dark shade of red. The words “MILE HIGH CITY” will be superimposed across the court in a faded yellow, while the tournament’s trophy will be featured at center-court and from the foul lines to each basket, like last year.
The Nuggets host the Dallas Mavericks on Nov. 22 and the Golden State Warriors on Dec. 3 in their two home games during the group stage of the NBA Cup. Their road games within the group are at New Orleans (Nov. 15) and Memphis (Nov. 19). Eight teams will advance from six groups to the knockout stage.
