Black History Month Celebration
To finish off the February schedule, the franchise will host a Black History Month Celebration on Saturday, Feb. 24, featuring a tribute to Chicagoland native and NBA pioneer Nat “Sweetwater” Clifton. In 1950, Clifton was the second-ever African American to sign a NBA contract and his legendary story was recently featured in the movie Sweetwater. A bobblehead depicting Clifton in his playing days will be given away and tributes to him and his family will highlight the special event.
