NBA Players, Refs To Wear Black Band On Uniforms In Honor Of David Stern
David Stern may be gone, but he certainly will not be forgotten.
The former NBA commissioner died Wednesday at age 77 due to complications from a brain hemorrhage he suffered three weeks ago. On Friday, the NBA announced a plan to honor the groundbreaking commissioner all season long.
All players and game officials will wear a black band around the sleeve of their uniforms for the rest of the season to honor Stern, per ESPN.
Here’s what the black band looks like on the Boston Celtics’ jerseys, via The Boston Globe’s Gary Washburn:
