WASHINGTON - The National Basketball Association (NBA) and PUMA on Wednesday announced a new multiyear partnership that will make the international sports brand an official marketing partner of the NBA.

"We are thrilled to partner with the NBA to bring PUMA to the next level in our reentry to the basketball market," said Adam Petrick, Global Director of Brand and Marketing at PUMA. "This partnership is a testament to the continued resurgence of PUMA within the basketball industry."

Through this partnership, PUMA will now be able to feature athletes in their respective NBA jerseys and team logos. Additionally, the brand will be able to curate authentic and original content that will allow better story telling of the company and their athletes.

"PUMA played an important part in the early footwear culture of the NBA," said Dan Rossomondo, NBA Senior Vice President, Media and Business Development. "As PUMA expands its presence in the basketball market with new player relationships and a new line of basketball sneakers, becoming an official footwear partner of the league is a natural next step to help amplify the brand's return to the category."
