The Boston Celtics, as well as the entire NBA, will honor the life and legacy of Hall of Famer Bill Russell, who recently passed away, through a variety of celebrations this year.
As a part of the tributes, the Celtics have unveiled a new home parquet court ahead of the NBA 2022-23 season that includes Russell’s jersey number 6 in both lanes.
This is the first time numerical text will be displayed within that area on an NBA court.
Previously announced by the league, every other NBA court around the league will display a number 6 decal on the sideline near the scorer’s table.
