On ELPA members initiative, no more stickers will be allowed inside the three-point area for EuroLeague games, solely painted logos. The EuroLeague Players Association confirmed the important development via post on Twitter noting that players’ health comes first.
Almost every EuroLeague affair was previously contested with the usage of stickers inside the rainbow. ELPA was the first European association to secure the removal making EuroLeague courts look cleaner and safer for the players.
The next step would be to work towards eliminating mid-court team stickers as well. The players through their Union hope to encourage the teams that still use them to replace the dangerous stickers with paint.
