NBA Preseason Games 2025
NBA Preseason Kicks off in Canada and Macau
The National Basketball Association kicks off its 2025-2026 season with preseason games in Canada and Macau. This years games featured the Toronto Raptors and Denver Nuggets facing off at Rogers Stadium in Vancouver and The Phoenix Suns and Brooklyn Nets competing in Macau at The Venetian Arena. Both venues drew large enthusiastic crowds of basketball fans, as the NBA continues to bring the game of basketball to an ever larger global audience.
As in seasons past, Horner Sports Flooring was the NBA’s supplier of choice, to provide the courts for these important games. For decades, Horner’s ProKing® portable basketball floor has been the NBA’s first choice when sending a court to a distant location. Horner’s on-site technicians make sure every event goes as smooth as possible.
A Clean Basketball Floor
As the NBA migrates more and more to virtual advertising on the floor surface, the floor itself becomes ever more free of advertising. Without all the ads and staining effects found on most floors, these preseason floors show off just how even and consistent Horner Sports Floors are. When a floor is left clean, like thee, there is nowhere to hide imperfections like big gaps or miss graded lumber. It all has to be perfect, and they were.
Horner Sports Flooring supplies permanent and portable sports flooring to professional and collegiate teams as well as schools, gyms and private clubs around the world.
