It’s been awhile since we’ve heard of an NBA player being in violation of the league’s dress code policy. The dress code came into existence during the 05-06 season right after the height of the “bling era” when 5 XL long t-shirts, throwback jerseys and baggy Red Monkey jeans plus ice were all the rage. Bulls big man Joakim Noah was out for his third straight game with plantar fasciitis. His attire to sit on the sideline was a hooded cardigan, white v neck t-shirt and skinny jeans. Apparently that didn’t make the cut. Noah was escorted from the bench in the second quarter.
The dress code basically states that players should be in business casual attire while arriving and departing during a scheduled game, on the bench while injured, and when conducting official NBA business (press interviews, charity events, etc.)
