The 2023 NBA In-Season Tournament is an ongoing multi-stage basketball tournament that is part of the 2023–24 NBA season. It is the first edition of the NBA In-Season Tournament. All 30 teams participate, each playing four regular season games that count towards the tournament's group stage standings. All games in the knockout round, except for the championship game, will also count towards the regular season standings. The tournament's semifinals and championship game will be played at T-Mobile Arena on the Las Vegas Strip.

Format[edit]

Main article: NBA In-Season Tournament § Format

The tournament's format is similar to in-season, multi-stage tournaments in European soccer.[1]

In the group stage, each conference is divided into three groups with five teams each, for a total of six groups. Regular season games played on Tuesdays and Fridays between November 3 and November 28 count in the regular season standings and the In-Season Tournament standings. Each team plays one game against each of the other teams in its group, for a total of four games (two at home and two on the road).[1]

If two or more teams in a group have equal records upon completion of group play, the following tiebreakers are applied in this order:[1]

  1. Head-to-head record in the group stage
  2. Point differential in the group stage
  3. Total points scored in the group stage
  4. Regular season record from the 2022–23 regular season
  5. Random drawing
T-Mobile Arena in 2020

Each group's winner then advances to the knockout stage, as does one wild card from each conference – the group runner-up with the best group stage record. Quarterfinal games will be played in local NBA markets on December 4 and 5, with the teams with the top two group stage records in each conference hosting, and the best team in Group Play games will host the wild card team. The semifinals will be played on December 7, and the championship will be on December 9. The final two rounds will be played at T-Mobile Arena on the Las Vegas Strip.[1]

Quarterfinal and semifinal games also count as regular season games, affecting teams' positions in league standings, but the championship game does not. Statistics from the championship game are not counted in regular season totals.[1]

While the knockout stage is concluding, the 22 teams that do not qualify for the knockout stage will play two additional regular season games, one at home and one on the road, against other teams eliminated before the knockout rounds. The four teams that lose in the quarterfinals will play one additional game, against each other.[1]

Prize money[edit]

Players on teams advancing to the knockout stage will receive prize money as follows:[2]

  • Players on teams that lose in the quarterfinals: $50,000 each
  • Players on teams that lose in the semifinals: $100,000 each
  • Players on the tournament runner-up team: $200,000 each
  • Players on the tournament championship team: $500,000 each

Draw[edit]

Pots[edit]

Teams were allocated into five pots per conference based on the 2022–23 regular season standings. Pot 1 contained the teams with the top three regular season records in each conference, while Pot 2 contained the teams with the fourth to sixth best records and so forth concluding with Pot 5, which contained the teams with the bottom three (thirteenth through fifteenth) records.[3][1]

Draw results[edit]

The initial groups were revealed during the tournament announcement on July 8, 2023.[4] The five teams in each group were selected by a draw of one team from each of the five pots for the conference in question.

Media coverage[edit]

The group stage of the tournament is covered by the NBA's existing broadcasters.

In national linear television broadcasts in the United States, TNT has selected Tuesday games, ESPN has selected Friday games, and NBA TV have two on Friday, November 24.[5] Most group stage games will instead only be televised locally by the teams' regional broadcasters.[6][7][8] During the knockout stage, TNT will air all four quarterfinals on December 4 and 5. For the semifinals on December 7, ESPN will televise the early game and TNT will have the late game. The championship game will air on ABC in primetime on December 9.[9][10]

All TNT's games will be streamed on Max.[7] NBA League Pass will offer out-of-market group stage games, as well as live access to NBA TV's games.[8]

In Canada, TSN, Sportsnet, and NBA TV Canada show selected games nationally, including all Toronto Raptors games.[11][12]
