The NBA will add a new in-season tournament in the looming 2023-24 season fans of the Boston Celtics will need to brush up on. The tournament will have three groups of five teams from each conference. The group winners, along with a wild-card team from each conference, will advance to an eight-team knockout round.
The tournament will kick off on this November 3 and end with the championship game on December 9. The semifinals and championship will be held at a neutral site in Las Vegas. All tournament games will count towards each team’s 82-game record for the regular season.
The NBA’s added this tourney to generate interest in the long regular season without making it longer given the already considerable span of the calendar year already occupied by each season.
