- In August, J.R. Smith got a tattoo of the "Supreme" logo on his calf.
- Smith announced that the NBA informed him that they would fine him for every game he played with the logo visible.
- Supreme is a clothing line that started as a skateboarding and counter-culture brand, and players are prohibited from displaying logos that are not corporate partners with the league.
- Players with logos in their hair or tattoos have been an issue before in the NBA, but some players play with corporate ink without issue.
