As a result of the collaboration, Second Spectrum is now an Official NBA Team Basketball Analytics Provider and an Official NBA League Pass Augmentation Provider.

The Dragon project, an innovative platform for future technologies, will bring together the two organisations.

It will examine data from millions of on-court basketball points synthesised utilising video technology and machine-learned video indexing tools.

With the data processed, augmented graphics covering statistical team and individual insights can be created and shown on NBA League Pass telecasts.

Optional viewers of this broadcast will be able to watch a webcast that places a heavy emphasis on analytics during the game. The live match broadcast will not be interrupted while the data is delivered in real-time.

In a statement regarding the partnership, Genius Sports CEO Mark Locke stated: "The National Basketball Association (NBA), being one of the most technologically advanced leagues in the world, demands state-of-the-art innovations from its teams, fans, broadcasters, and media partners.

We are ecstatic to deepen our already fruitful relationship with the NBA. That the NBA believes Dragon can address future technological issues is something we are really pleased about.

Genius Sports' basketball analytics and insights engine will incorporate Second Spectrum's official NBA tracking data.

Every one of the other 30 NBA teams will keep getting services from Genius Sports. These teams employ the data analysis that Second Spectrum provides for basketball insights and decision-making as a whole.
