The Boston Celtics, known for their iconic parquet court, will be using an alternate basketball court for the upcoming NBA in-season tournament, their first such alternate court in the nearly eight decades of the storied ball club’s existence.

The NBA wanted a visual marker to differentiate the tournament games from regular season contests, so all 30 teams will have new alternate courts as a result. While the league is confident most fans will like the floors, traditionalist Celtics fans may not be convinced.
The hosts of the CLNS Media “How Bout Them Celtics!” podcast recently took a look at the new court on a recent episode also covering Boston’s blowout win over the Wizards on Monday.
