Right before the start of the regular season, the NBA and its teams and players will tip off this seasons’ youth basketball efforts with the fourth annual Jr. NBA Week (Oct. 8-Oct. 15). At Jr. NBA Night at the Mavs vs. Hornets home game on Friday, October 12, 50 kids from partner nonprofits will receive tickets to the game, wear Jr. NBA t-shirts, be included on in-game live section video shots, and other special experiences throughout the night.
