Chicago, Illinois – The Pro Basketball Association announced on Tuesday that an agreement had been reached with Wilson to become the Official Basketball of the PBA. The Wilson Evolution with the PBA embossed logo will serve as the Official ball beginning with the 2021 Spring-Summer Season. Basketballs will be available in arenas around the Country and select retailers will offer the ball for $79.95. The top quality Indoor Game Ball with PBA embossed logo will also be made available online.

The Wilson Sporting Goods Company is an American sports equipment manufacturer based in Chicago, Illinois. Wilson makes equipment for many sports, among them baseball, badminton, American football, basketball, fastpitch softball, golf, racquetball, soccer, squash, tennis, pickleball and volleyball. Wilson is currently also the Official basketball of the NBA.

“We wanted quality. Wilson is the official ball of the NBA and I have always been a big fan of the Evolution. The wide channel grip is excellent. I love it off the hand. We were approached by several manufacturers but I just kept going back to Wilson to work something out. I am really happy with the way the ball came out. The PBA logo looks great and the guys at Wilson were really good to work with. It looks nice but what really sold us on Wilson is the feel. Some things you look at and some things you put in your hands and you just know if it feels right. Our relationship with Wilson just feels right. Were looking forward to having Wilson front and center in our gyms across America this season in the PBA.” Chris Terrell – PBA Commissioner
