Patches will be worn by all individual award winners, including MVP (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander) and Clutch Player of the Year (Jalen Brunson), as well as team awards such as All-NBA, All-Defensive and All-Rookie.

Players such as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Evan Mobley will have their respective trophy icons sown above the Nike swoosh on the front of their uniform.

“The NBA will return to painting the Larry O'Brien trophy at center court and Finals script logo on the home team's floor for the Finals starting this season, per sources. The last time the large trophy was painted on court was 2009,” reported ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania on X, formerly Twitter.

Many of the players put the rings on their fingers. Reigning NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the final player to receive his ring, put his ring on his right index finger. One hundred diamonds set in 14-karat gold adorn the top of the ring, along with the words “NBA CHAMPIONS” and the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy.
