The NBA is starting a new tournament for the first time ever. The NBA introduced the In-season tournament. The way that this works is each conference is split into three groups of five. Basically what this is saying is that there will be a total of six groups throughout the whole NBA. Each team will have a total of four round robin games. If you can win your group you go to a single elimination that will start on December fourth. You can also get into the single elimination round by being a wild card.
If your team wins this tournament each player that is on the team will get an extra 500,000 thousand dollars which will help some players out. I like this edition because it will put an extra drive in some of these players. They will also make the regular season matter cause most players don’t take it serious until the playoffs come around. Most players said these games are like playoff games so they are going to go much harder. This is great for the NBA so they get a little bit of competitiveness in the regular season.
As well for the NBA In-season tournament every NBA has a new court where they play at. The only issue with the courts since everything is brand new is the NBA players are finding issues with it. The issues are only because there are new courts and no scuffs on the court really messes the players up.Most fans are confused about what is happening with the NBA in-season tournament so this is a pretty basic rundown.
