1988 NBA Summer Series on PRISM Schedule

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

The 1988 season is the 12th season of the Summer Series, and PRISM once again serves the league's official television broadcaster. PRISM's second contract with the NBA expired following this season. The contract was for eight seasons, from 1981 through 1988.

Everything remains the same from the previous two seasons (1986 & 1987). However, expansion is planned for the 1989 & 1990 seasons with the addition of four teams: the Miami Heat & the Charlotte Hornets in 1989; plus, the additions of the Minnesota Timberwolves & the Orlando Magic in 1990. By 1990, 27 teams would be playing in the league.

Several teams said farewell to their home venues this season prior to relocating the following year: The Milwaukee Bucks and the MECCA (Milwaukee Exposition Convention Center and Arena), the Detroit Pistons and the Pontiac Silverdome & the Sacramento Kings and the original ARCO Arena (I).
