It’s time for the Los Angeles Lakers to raise the banner.
The Los Angeles Lakers, renowned for their storied NBA history, are set to add a distinctive accolade to their collection. Celebrating their triumph in the inaugural NBA In-Season Tournament against the Indiana Pacers, the team will unveil a novel banner at Crypto.com Arena on Saturday. This distinctive emblem will grace the rafters alongside their illustrious NBA Championships and retired jerseys.

Unique Commemoration
Standing tall with 17 NBA titles, the Lakers are innovating in their tribute strategy. Unlike the traditional banners, this new addition is designed to evolve—an “add-a-year” banner. Crafted to be adaptable, it allows for future recognition should the team secure subsequent In-Season Tournament victories.
Not only will it diverge in form but also in color from the team’s classic banners, as reported by The Athletic.
The highly anticipated banner debut is slated for the Lakers’ upcoming home game against the New York Knicks on Dec. 18. This decision, unusual for Lakers traditions, underscores the team’s recognition of this groundbreaking tournament achievement, distinct from the customary acknowledgment of division or conference triumphs.

In-Season Tournament Triumph
The Lakers’ unblemished 7-0 record in the In-Season Tournament culminated in a resounding 123-109 victory over the Indiana Pacers during the championship game held in Las Vegas. LeBron James, an iconic figure in basketball, claimed the tournament’s inaugural MVP honors, leading his team to a substantial prize of $500,000 for their stellar performance.
The Lakers’ decision to honor their In-Season Tournament victory with a unique banner speaks to their commitment to innovation and recognition of achievements beyond the conventional scope.
