The NBA had one small caveat to add for the Lakers’ upcoming in-season tournament semifinal matchup against the Pelicans: No black uniforms.
Los Angeles won’t be allowed to wear their black alternative “city edition” uniforms on Thursday due to the league’s concerns over “the visual contrast” between the uniforms and the in-season court design at T-Mobile Arena in Nevada, according to ESPN.
Instead, the Lakers will wear their gold “icon” uniforms. The Pelicans will wear their white “association” uniforms.
