NBA to Introduce “Debut Patch” Jerseys for Rookie First Games

Starting this season, every NBA rookie will wear a “Debut Patch” on their jersey during their first game. After a player debuts, the patch will be removed and embedded into a one-of-one autographed trading card. The NBA says these exclusive cards will be randomly inserted into sealed packs released in 2026, marking its first debut-driven collectible initiative.
