Zags Facility Renamed After NBA Star Donation | Spokane News

Gonzaga’s basketball strength and conditioning facility is getting a fresh name thanks to a massive donation from a former Bulldog now lighting up the NBA — and it’s just the latest sign of the program’s unstoppable rise. With 13 alumni suiting up in the 2025-2026 NBA season and the school ranking third in NCAA Division I for total NBA earnings (behind only Kentucky and Duke), Gonzaga’s pipeline is paying massive dividends — think Domantas Sabonis’ $42M+ haul and Chet Holmgren’s rumored $240M five-year deal. The dedication ceremony kicks off Thursday at 4:30 PM in the Volkar Center — a celebration of athletic excellence, relentless preparation, and the Zags’ undeniable NBA legacy.
