The NBA has announced a new in-season tournament with group stages followed by a knockout stage, and we now know what group the Boston Celtics will find themselves in for the 2023-24 season, the tourney’s first. The tournament games will be played on designated tournament nights, mostly on Tuesdays and Fridays, and will be counted as regular season games.
The Celtics have been placed in a group with the Brooklyn Nets, Toronto Raptors, Chicago Bulls, and Orlando Magic, and pending the moves those ball clubs make in the meantime, Boston’s group is currently considered one of the easier ones to forge a path to winning the league’s inaugural in-season tournament cup.
To talk over Boston’s group placement and the tourney more generally, the hosts of the “How Bout Them Celtics!” podcast linked up for a recent episode focused on it.
