The NBA will consider returning Larry O'Brien Trophy decals to the court for NBA Finals games after the 2024-25 season, commissioner Adam Silver told reporters on Friday.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver isn’t buying into the idea that the NBA Finals between the OKC Thunder and Indianapolis Pacers lacks “star power.”

Silver's announcement sounds promising after the poor reception to the tournament structure applied to this year's All-Star Game. Whatever the format of the game, Silver's decision to pivot to a format with a global identity appropriately accommodates their media partner's broadcast plans for the Milano Cortina Games in Northeast Italy.
