The NBA is taking a leap into sports betting.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver announced an official partnership with MGM Resorts International on Tuesday.
Under the contract, MGM's sports betting operations will be allowed to use NBA and WNBA branding as well as data directly from the league.
MGM CEO Jim Murren says the partnership will "instill more confidence in knowing that our data is directly from the NBA.”
The announcement comes more than two months after the Supreme Court struck down a federal law that effectively banned sports betting in most of the country.
