With the San Antonio spurs and New York Knicks matched up in the 2026 NBA Finals, the league officially revealed the long-awaited designs for both courts that will be used throughout the series.
It was announced earlier this season that the NBA is bringing back the Larry O’Brien Trophy silhouette behind the center court logos for the Finals. These glorious designs quickly caught fire online when they were revealed on Sunday.

Alongside the clean courts, this series has shaped up to be a good one.
The Knicks took care of the Atlanta Hawks in six games to open the postseason before burning through both the Philadelphia 76ers and the Cleveland Cavaliers without taking a loss in either series.
Meanwhile, the Spurs are coming into the series with momentum, fresh off of a seven-game battle with the reigning champions. In their head-to-head matchups, the Knicks came out on top 2-1, including a victory in the NBA Cup.
But the Spurs appear to be the better overall team on paper. With a better regular season record and tougher playoff competition up to this point, San Antonio comes in as the favorite.
Regardless of who emerges victorious, the upcoming battles will take place on courts that fans have been begging to see again since their departure in 2009.
