That also includes the court itself.

The NBA, along with the National Basketball Players Association is also expected to allocate more than $2.5 million to historically Black colleges and universities as part of holding the event, as well as to support awareness around equity and access to COVID-19 care, relief and vaccines as part of the event.

NBPA president Chris Paul of the Phoenix Suns has been a proponent of the idea, which would include the showcasing and benefiting of historically Black colleges and universities.
