To those "In the Know", what is that addictive box on the scorer's table? (3 Viewers)

It all started last year when my wife and I had great seats to a game and were only about 7 rows back from the team bench and the scorer's table. Matisse was out for a long stretch as we all remember. We are both big fans of him and were happy to at least be able to see him there while we watched the game. Very soon, we started noticing he would take little trips to the scorer's table and take something from this little plastic box and unwrap it, popping into his mouth. Well, this repeated VERY often. At one point, he tried to stuff several of whatever they are into the pocket of another street clothed player. We have photos.

Flash forward to recently. We noticed Dame grab something out of there. It got us thinking, what is this? A box of assorted gum, mints, candies? Is it just for a treat or does it serve a specific purpose? Thybulle seemed like he was crazy about it last year. Then we saw him go for it again this year and she called him The Candy Man and I cracked up. I followed with the The Candy Man CAN. (We have a running joke that she has the hots for the players like Jerami and Matisse who are easy on the eyes/or that they would have the hots for her because SHE is hella easy on the eyes. I'm always teasing her about it. Or making somewhat crude or innuendo-laden jokes. Or she is. So now you know what The Candy Man CAN implied. Haha.

Anyway, I told her I would ask on here:

What's in the box????? What is it and why is it there?

That's who I thought might be the one to know.

I've seen on a past broadcast them have candy there for the players. They talked about it a little, that it maybe started with a little bit of this that and that the players liked it and started giving preferences to what exact candy should show up there. There was someone (and intern or something) who's job it was to make sure to get those exact candies and fill it before each game.

Didn’t Mike Rice used to keep a bowl of hard candies or something? Maybe it never went away?
