The NBA unveiled the format and groups for its in-season tournament set to debut next season. Here's everything you need to know.
The new annual competition will tip off on November 3 with group play and run through December 9 with the championship game. All 30 NBA teams will participate in the group stage, with each team being placed in three groups of five teams within both the Eastern and Western conferences. All teams were randomly drawn into their groups based on win-loss records from the 2022-23 regular season, according to the NBA.
The team with the best record in each group and two wild-card teams will then advance to the knockout stage. The wild cards will include the team in each conference that finished with the best record in group play, but second within its group. The knockout stage will be single elimination, hosted by the teams with the best record in group play on December 4-5. The semifinals and championship game will be held on December 7 and December 9 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
