The third annual Emirates NBA Cup has reached the knockout round. Things have worked out quite nicely for the league as the defending NBA champion Thunder and two of the league's premier franchises in the Lakers and Knicks have earned spots in the final eight.
The Magic, Heat, Raptors, Suns and Spurs will round out the mini-tournament. It seems like Victor Wembanyama will miss the remainder of the NBA Cup, but MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander may be back for Oklahoma City soon.
