purpose is to make the world healthier and happier, today announced a
two-year partnership with IMPACT Basketball, renaming their newest,
state-of-the-art facility in Las Vegas the Herbalife Nutrition IMPACT
Basketball Center. As the official title and sports nutrition
sponsor, the Company’s team of sports nutritionists will provide
basketball players with customized nutrition plans to help elevate their
game. The partnership includes athletes’ access to Herbalife24
NSF
Certified for Sports® product line at all three of their training
facilities in Las Vegas, Nevada, Sarasota, Florida and Los Angeles,
California.
“We are thrilled to be the official sports nutrition partner for the new
Herbalife Nutrition IMPACT Basketball Centers to provide athletes with
proper nutrition during their rigorous training regimens,” said Ibi

Tyronn Lue, former Head Coach for the Cleveland Cavaliers and an 11-year
veteran of the LA Lakers and seven other NBA teams, along with IMPACT’s
founder, Joe Abunassar, led a basketball clinic to offer coaching tips
for local students from Teach for America (TFA). From on-court play to

high-level training at a young age.
“We are excited to have provided this unique opportunity. It’s a great

strategy,” said Joe Abunassar, founder and president of the Herbalife

benefit our players here at the Herbalife Nutrition IMPACT Basketball
Center, but also the trainers at our other facilities and through our
