Lakers Celebrate In-Season Tournament Win with Banner Unveiling
The Los Angeles Lakers unveiled a banner at Crypto.com Arena to commemorate their victory in the first-ever in-season tournament in NBA history. The black and gold banner, featuring the NBA Cup trophy and the year 2023, is about half the size of the franchise's NBA championship banners. The ceremony included a video tribute and the placement of the NBA Cup trophy on a table at center court. While the celebration was met with a warm ovation from fans, there were no speeches given. The tournament provided a boost of intensity for the Lakers, who went on an undefeated run and rose to the fourth spot in the Western Conference standings.
