NBA Cup 2024: In-Season Tournament Heats Up with Group Stage Action

The second annual NBA Cup showcases intense competition as teams vie for a spot in the quarterfinals, with games impacting regular-season standings.

The NBA Cup, rebranded as the Emirates NBA Cup, runs from November 12 to December 17, featuring all 30 teams in a group-stage format.
Each team plays four group-stage games, and the top teams from each group, plus two wild cards, advance to the quarterfinals.
The championship game will be held in Las Vegas and is not counted in the regular-season standings, offering significant financial incentives for players.
The Los Angeles Lakers, led by LeBron James, are defending their title, with the tournament games broadcast on ESPN, TNT, and NBA TV.
The NBA Cup includes distinctive courts for tournament games, and the event is part of a multi-year sponsorship with Emirates airline.
