The Miami Heat and Denver Nuggets have made it to the NBA’s biggest stage, and they now know what they will be wearing for the occasion.
The league announced which jerseys each team will wear for the first four games of the 2023 Finals through NBA LockerVision, which lays out the full uniform schedule for the entire season.
The Heat will mostly be wearing their white Association Edition jerseys to start the series, while the Nuggets will be avoiding white all together to kick off their first NBA Finals appearance. Neither of the uniform matchups from the Heat and Nuggets’ two regular season meetings will be used in the first four games of the Finals, either.
