Again this year, the floor chosen by the NBA is Horner Sports Flooring’s ProKing® portable basketball floor. Year after year the ProKing’s proven track record with NBA special events and its proven ruggedness, needed for inter-continental shipping, has made it the go-to floor for the NBA and multi-use arenas and venues worldwide.

The USA Basketball Showcase Tournament drew huge crowds ahead of the Paris Olympics in late July.
USA Basketball is the governing body for basketball in the US, much like FIBA is in Europe. The Showcase offered National Teams, from different countries, an opportunity to play each other ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris.
The games took place at The O2 in London and The Etihad in Abu Dhabi. Both locations competed on a Horner Sports Flooring, world class, ProKing® floor.
Horner Sports Flooring’s ProKing portable basketball courts are easily trucked domestically and fit neatly into shipping containers for international shipping. ProKing floors are used and shipped around the world for professional teams, collegiate teams and special events. Its rugged design and time tested, proven ability to get the job done has made ProKing the go-to portable floor for events, contests and competition, domestically and internationally.
For more than a decade, Horner Sports Flooring has been the supplier of the NBA Summer League floors. Held at the Thomas and Mack Center and Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas, each year, Summer League has become the primier summer basketball event. This year is no different.
As in the past, this year’s NBA Summer League floors have the clean, classic styling fans love to see. The large, red, white and blue 2025 NBA Summer League logo dominates center court, as it has for years. The floor is bordered in red with white text, as usual. Play area graphics have been limited to a darkened area inside the three point line, with the key reverting back to natural. The play area is beautifully devoid of sponsor ads and other distractions.
Make no mistake, Horner Sports Flooring has the ability to lay down cutting edge graphics, but as we can see here, sometimes, the discipline to keep it simple can really pay off.
Below the understated graphics is a world class, Horner Sports Flooring, ProKing® portable basketball floor. The ProKing® basketball floor is used by professional and collegiate teams nation and world wide. The ProKing® floor boasts the lightest panels in the business and the fastest load in/load out times available. These ProKing floors are trucked from the Horner factory/mill, game ready. Within 2 hrs. of arrival, the floor can be ready for competition.
