Here it is, the Grand Rapids Drive new court design… what’s missing? The logo for the new NBA D-League franchise isn’t at centre court, it’s been replaced, unfortunately, with a giant logo for a local bank.
Here’s our official unveiling of our court! We’re excited to partner with @ChemicalBank, @MetroHealthGR, and @meijer! pic.twitter.com/oAFVlBp1If

The Drive won’t be the only D-League club to have a sponsor logo at centre court, the Texas Legends have the logo for Mexican tourism flanked by two large Dallas Mavericks logos on their court at Dr. Pepper Arena.
An idea of how the Drive’s new court could have looked comes straight from their official Twitter account, where a sponsor-free version of the court design is used as their cover image:
Much better.
