As anticipation for Kia NBA Tip-Off '10 grows, NBA fans will have another way to get closer to their favorite teams and players. For the first time, fans of all 30 teams will have the chance to own game-worn jerseys of the starting five players on their team's opening-night roster. It will also mark the first time that NBA Revolution 30 jerseys, introduced across the League this season and featuring adidas' newest technology, will be available for auction on NBA.com.


Auctions will begin for the first three games that play on Oct. 26 and will run through Tuesday, Nov. 16. The league will auction the remaining teams' jerseys on a rolling basis throughout the season. After the games are played, the jerseys will be authenticated and securely stored until they are delivered to the winners. To celebrate the Los Angeles Lakers' 16th NBA championship, the league will auction every jersey from the team's opening night roster. To place a bid, fans can log on to auctions.nba.com.

The NBA tips off the 2010-11 season with three games on Tuesday, Oct. 26: the Miami Heat at the Boston Celtics at 7:30 p.m. ET on TNT; the Houston Rockets at the Los Angeles Lakers at 10:30 p.m. ET, also on TNT; and the Phoenix Suns at the Portland Trail Blazers at 10:00 p.m. ET.
