The Lakers and Heat are the latest teams to add an advertising patch to their jerseys for the 2017-18 season.

The Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat are the latest NBA teams to announce the addition of an ad patch to their jerseys for the upcoming season.

The Lakers have partnered with Wish, a San Francisco-based e-commerce company. According to Sports Business Daily, the deal is worth $12-14 million per year for the next three seasons. Japanese tech company Rakuten recently purchased ad space on the front of the Warriors' jerseys with a three-year, $60 million deal.

In addition, the Heat announced on Thursday that they are adding advertising patches from Ultimate Software. No word yet on how much their deal is worth.

With the addition of the Lakers and Heat, there are now 16 NBA teams with ad patches for the upcoming season.
