1985 NBA Summer Series on PRISM Schedule

PRISM's first logo used for Summer Series coverage (1977-1992).

The 1985 season is the ninth season for the Summer Series. PRISM returns to provide television coverage for the ninth straight year. This marks the sixth season of an eight-year contract (1981-88) that PRISM signed back in 1981 for exclusive television rights for the Summer Series franchise.

The San Diego Clippers moved to Los Angeles starting with this season to become the Los Angeles Clippers. The Clippers played in the Lakers' old home, the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena.

A young basketball star from North Carolina named Michael Jordan made his NBA debut this season with the Chicago Bulls (the team that he spent most of his career with). I think his career worked out quite well, huh?!

This is the final season of competition for the Kansas City Kings before the team moved to Sacramento the following year.

This is the last year that the Seattle SuperSonics used the Kingdome for games, as they would move back to the Seattle Center Coliseum the following season.

The Pontiac Silverdome roof collapsed in March 4 snowstorm, forcing the Detroit Pistons to play select games at the Joe Louis Arena.

The 23-team format returns for the fifth straight season and expanded playoff format returns for the second straight season.
