Last year&#8217;s City Edition jerseys were unveiled after the season had begun as a ramp-up for the NBA&#8217;s inaugural In-Season Tournament, the NBA Cup. This time around, we&#8217;re getting a glimpse early. If you&#8217;re thinking, well, it&#8217;s a leak. Can it be true?

Last season, Indiana had one of the best In-Season Tournament floors, with the jerseys to back it up. They stayed the course this time, and it looks just as good.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">BREAKING: Pacers city edition jerseys have leaked.<\/p>\n<p>Thoughts?<\/p>\n<p>via <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EldenMonitors?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@EldenMonitors<\/a> <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/oYib8lPggE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/oYib8lPggE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 PacersMuse (@pacersmuse) <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pacersmuse\/status\/1836156505730728107?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">September 17, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>Toronto Raptors<\/h3>\n<p>Everyone remembers the <a  href=\"https:\/\/thesportgallery.ca\/products\/torontoraptorsvincecarter1998-99swingmanjersey\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">iconic purple jersey<\/a>, accentuated by the oversized dinosaur on the front, made famous by the one and only <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/c\/cartevi01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Vince Carter<\/a>.
