Every indoor basketball wood floor will eventually need to least 48 to 72 hours before play resumes. During this curing period, the finish is still hardening, and premature use can damage the new coating.

Refinishing is what makes hardwood floors unique among all sports flooring options. No synthetic surface can be restored to like-new condition. Only wood can be sanded down and rebuilt, again and again, for decades. This is the ultimate expression of the value of hardwood: it is not a disposable surface. It is a renewable one.
