Could an NBA In-Season Tournament Follow the Los Angeles Lakers’ Championship Victory?

NBA Regular Season usually lasts 6 months each year with hundreds of matches, easily creating boredom for fans and causing players to lose motivation.

This is the reason why the NBA organizers introduced a completely new cup tournament called the NBA In-Season Tournament, following the model of top European football tournaments.

Taking place in November and December, the tournament had many exciting competitions from the group stage to the knockout series, bringing the Playoffs atmosphere right in the slack Regular Season period.

After a series of semi-finals and finals taking place in Las Vegas, the first NBA In-Season Tournament champion is the Los Angeles Lakers, the most successful team in the tournament’s history.

Indiana Pacers, led by young star Tyrese Haliburton, finished second, leaving many impressions with excellent performances.

After the In-Season Tournament 2023 ended, fans and the players themselves gave good feedback about the first cup tournament in NBA history. Many people changed their minds from skepticism and disregard to excitement, hoping that IST would be maintained in the coming seasons.

The question is whether the NBA In-Season Tournament will return or not? NBA executive committee member Adam Silver confirmed that this cup tournament will definitely return.

“We are very satisfied with the success we have had after the first season and there is nothing to discuss, the In-Season Tournament will definitely return with some changes “, Mr. Adam Silver shared with ESPN.

“This includes changing the tournament time, adjusting the competition format, changing the surface texture, redefining the way rankings are determined and even choosing a new name.”
