DETROIT, Mich.—On Sunday, July 20, the Detroit Amplifiers (“Amps”), Motor City’s official BIG3 basketball franchise, will take center court at Little Caesars Arena, marking the team’s first-ever home game. The Amplifiers will host an afternoon of 3-on-3 pro basketball as part of the BIG3’s Summer in the City tour.

Led by their head coach, George “The Iceman” Gervin, the Amps feature a star-studded roster including dynamic guard Jeremy Pargo and NCAA champion Darnell Jackson. The Amps will face off against Stephen Jackson’s DMV Trilogy in the third game of the event. Fans can expect four 50-minute, fast-paced and competitive 3-on-3 basketball games, halftime performances from musical artists—including a possible appearance by BIG3 co-founder Ice Cube himself—and face time with legendary players like Dwight Howard, Nancy Lieberman, Nick Young, Dr. J, and Michael Beasley.

An officially licensed Detroit Amps apparel line has also just launched. It includes hats, t-shirts, hoodies, tanks, and sweatpants for men and women, featuring the Amps logo and exclusive designs.
