basketball court

Where players dribble

A basketball court is the rectangular playing surface for basketball, marked with boundary lines, a center circle, free-throw lanes, and a three-point arc at each end.

Courts vary in size between professional, college, and recreational play.

The game was delayed while crews dried the basketball court.
