RACINE, Wis. (CBS 58) -- The Pat Connaughton Foundation, established by Milwaukee Bucks player Pat Connaughton, is contributing to the construction of an indoor basketball court at the City of Racine’s Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center.

The court is part of a $68 million development planned for the Lincoln-King neighborhood, according to a press release issued on Tuesday, Aug. 20.

The King Center, which aims to serve a predominantly African American and Latino community, will also include a Federally Qualified Health Center. The center is expected to provide a variety of services, including adult and pediatric medical care, mental health services and recreational programs for residents.

"The King Center shares our mission of creating access to athletics to the next generation of student athletes," Connaughton said.

"We’re doing more than just building a basketball court—we’re cultivating environments where sports can impart essential life skills like hard work, teamwork, leadership, accountability, and discipline. By investing in the children of Racine, we’re laying the groundwork for healthier, happier futures and long-term success."

The King Center could break ground this fall, with an anticipated opening in the third quarter of 2026, and will be located north of Julian Thomas Elementary School and will feature a gymnasium, classrooms, a reading room, a computer lab, an esports studio and a community kitchen.
