The Los Angeles Lakers' court for the NBA Cup is a late scratch for Friday's game.

The alternative court, with its bright yellow color scheme and NBA Cup trophy decals, will not be used when the Lakers host the Dallas Mavericks during the in-season tournament matchup at Crypto.com Arena after being deemed "unplayable," according to ESPN's Dave McMenamin.

Technicians from the league’s court vendor determined the floor is in need of repair because of safety concerns, The Athletic reported .

Friday's game will instead be played on the Lakers' regular home court.

Lakers star Luka Doncic had complaints about the NBA Cup court after the team played on it for the first time Tuesday in a win against the Los Angeles Clippers.
