NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is having a basketball court designed in his honour at Hamilton’s TD Coliseum.

Oak View Group and TD Coliseum made the announcement this morning.

The Oklahoma City Thunder star joined TD Coliseum as an investor earlier this year, supporting his hometown’s growth as a destination for sports and entertainment.

The court will debut this week as Hamilton hosts the FIBA Men’s Basketball World Cup 2027 Americas Qualifiers.

Gilgeous-Alexander and Canada will face Puerto Rico on Friday and Jamaica on July 6.

Gilgeous-Alexander and Canadian teammates Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Dillon Brooks are scheduled to meet with media later today.
