The NBA will allow teams to place an additional sponsorship asset on practice jerseys, sources told The Athletic's Shams Charania.

Most of the 30 clubs have a sponsorship patch on the front left shoulder of their game-day uniforms.

The Toronto Raptors' practice jerseys feature the owl logo from rapper Drake's "October's Very Own" lifestyle brand.

Beginning in the 2017-18 season, NBA teams were permitted to sell jersey sponsorships to generate additional revenue.

The practice has been a mainstay for years in European soccer leagues, where sponsors are featured prominently across the chest of players' jerseys.
