The NBA has been flirting with the idea of an in-season tournament for a while. With that said, Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium just provided an update on this concept.
Per the report from Charania, the NBA could implement an in-season tournament as early as the 2023-24 season.
The current framework for the in-season tournament would mean that cup games take place through November. Then, eight teams would advance to a single-elimination final in December.
The remaining 22 teams would continue with the regular season.
Every game played would be part of a normal 82-game schedule, for the exception of the two teams that make the finals for the in-season tournament. The final two teams that make it would have to play one extra game.

Charania added that the NBA and NBPA are still working to finalize this concept. The in-season tournament would include prizes for the eight teams that advance to the single-elimination round.
An in-season tournament could potentially shake up the landscape of the NBA.
