The sporting goods company Wilson will produce the NBA's official game balls starting in the 2021-22 season, according to Yahoo Sports' Chris Haynes.
Spalding has been the league's official game ball partner since 1983, but according to Yahoo Sports, the two sides mutually agreed to part ways.
Wilson, which produced the NBA's official game ball for 37 years prior to the league's move to Spalding, will also reportedly produce the game ball for the WNBA, G League, NBA 2K League and Basketball Africa League.
According to Haynes, the same leather and product specifications will be used in the league's new basketball, but the NBA will also form a player advisory board to offer potential suggestions.
