The National Basketball Association (NBA) has today agreed a new multi-year global marketing partnership with lifestyle brand Rhone.

Through the tie-up, Rhone, which focuses on mental health initiatives, will introduce custom content on the NBA Fitness platform.

It will also partner with NBA Champion and five-time All-Star Kevin Love as a brand ambassador, who will work with Rhone to launch a campaign designed to raise awareness around mental and physical well-being.

Rhone will feature its Commuter Shirt throughout the partnership with the league. Additionally, Rhone will produce licensed dress shirts featuring NBA and team logos.

Meanwhile, the NBA has named Greek and Maltese betting company Novibet as an official partner in Greece.

The deal makes Novibet the league's first official Greek betting partner, allowing viewers in that country access to official merchandise, local events, digital promotions, and chances to attend NBA matches in the US.
