The Larry O'Brien logo will return to center court during NBA Finals games, sources told Shams Charania of ESPN.
The Finals script logo will also be painted on the court instead of being digitally placed or as a decal.
The decision comes following social media criticism during this year's Finals that there was no Finals decal on the court.
"I've seen some of the chatter on social media around on-court decals," Silver said on ESPN during the Finals. "People don't realize they went away a decade ago because there were claims that some of the players [were saying] they were slippery when we had the decals on the floor."
2009 was the last time the trophy was painted on the court for a Finals game.
