Lakers are the first champions of the NBA In-Season Tournament

The NBA In-Season Tournament was officially announced in mid-2023, and is a small tournament that takes place in the middle of the season. This tournament was created to increase the entertainment value of the NBA and provide better experiences for fans. The tournament is played in a cup format, including a group stage and a knockout round.

There are 30 participating teams, divided into 6 groups according to the draw format by region (each group has 5 teams and each team plays 4 matches). The 6 group winners and 2 second-place teams (1 team from each region) with the best records will also advance to the knockout stage. The semi-finals and finals will be played on neutral grounds. Matches in the In-Season Tournament (except the final) will count as one ranking match in the Regular Season.
