NBA players required to ‘be in uniform and warmups’ upon arriving to arena
Players will be dressed in their full uniforms before they board the team bus, with photographers waiting on location to snap pre-game photos.
An NBA protocol will require players to “be in uniform and warmups” as they arrive to the arena, sources told Nick DePaula of ESPN.
Team locker rooms at the arena are not equipped with showers, leading to the change in dress protocol. Players will leave the arena 40 minutes after each game ends.
