Jaylen Brown of the Celtics criticizes the “unacceptable” NBA In-Season Tournament courts following an injury.

This year marked the start of the NBA’s inaugural In-Season Tournament, and despite its ambiguous nature (many people think it’s just a money grab), the competition is fierce on the court (the champions take home a cool $500k apiece).

If you’re not aware, during a tournament game, the courts are remade to resemble a “Create A Court” in NBA 2K. Nevertheless, the courts’ conditions have been dubious, with players slipping and sliding everywhere.

Superstar Jaylen Brown of the Boston Celtics commented that he “might have strained” his groin after tripping on Toronto’s court on Friday night.

Although he supports the event, which is a first for North American sports, he believes the league should be aware of the risks associated with the unconventionally constructed courts.

“The whole game, the court was slick. After the game, players’ union vice president Brown stated, “As players, we’re all here for the In-Season Tournament because it’s going to generate revenue, excitement, competition, etcetera.” “However, we must ensure that the floor is secure for play. We cannot endanger the health of our players by putting them out there.

“I felt that the floor was a little bit inappropriate tonight. Not just myself, but guys were falling all over the place.”

Precious Achiuwa, a teammate, admitted that he “felt myself slip a few times, too.”

Brown isn’t by himself. During Tuesday’s In-Season Tournament game, Dallas Mavericks star Luka Dončić claimed that the floor at the New Orleans Pelicans’ home was “really bad”.

The ball didn’t actually bounce in some spots because of how slick it was. In order for us to play on these courts, we need to ensure that they are stable,” Doncic stated.

Teams are currently participating in pool play of the tournament, which is determined at random by regular season games and records from the previous year. December 9 in Las Vegas will see the crowning of the tournament winner.
