Story Highlights

The doldrums of 2020 may be in the past, but 2021 is still presenting challenges to in-venue production teams. Now out of the Orlando bubble, NBA organizations are hosting games in their home arenas and navigating the continuing difficulties of the pandemic. Like SVG's At the Ballpark and On the Gridiron series, On the Hardwood will take a look the hardships, creative ideas, and teamwork of NBA franchises. SVG Associate Editor Kristian Hernandez caught up with game presentation directors and other in-venue production professionals from the 76ers, Bucks, Bulls, Cavaliers, Hawks, Heat, Hornets, Kings, Nuggets, Pelicans, Rockets, Spurs, Timberwolves, Trail Blazers, and Warriors to get a glimpse of their day-to-day operations.
