Teams get to choose what jerseys they wear at home now. They still wear them but it's not a mandatory thing where you wear the white jerseys at home so it just seems a lot less than it actually is.

No they don't. The league (Nike) gave the teams a uniform schedule

“The league gives us a master schedule,” said Celtics travel and equipment coordinator John Connor. “We put it on the wall and we just give out what’s on the wall. We get the schedule and what we’re supposed to wear from the league, and it’s for the whole year.

“It used to be Paul Pierce saying, ‘Hey, let’s wear the green/black ones.’ Not anymore. The players can’t control it.”
