Hoops for Troops is a year-round initiative developed by the NBA, its teams and players in collaboration with the Department of Defense, USO and other military and veteran serving organizations to honor active and retired service men and women and their families. In addition, the NBA and its teams partner with the Department of Defense to not only express appreciation for the military, but also work with them as part of a commitment to service.

- HOOPS FOR TROOPS WEEK
