NBA
On track for the midseason tournament starting in the 2023-24 NBA season
The NBA is finalizing the final details to implement the idea of a mid-season tournament in the spirit of the Cup, with the plan saying it will first happen in 2023-24.
It was a suggestion. It became a thought. Now the time seems to have come. The reason for a mid-season tournament, in the logic of the cup, applies to national championships around the world, which the NBA is also preparing to implement.
According to “Athletic”, the procedures are advanced to implement the plan from the 2023/24 season. Based on what is known, the thoughts are as follows:
– Matches for the tournament will take place in November
– Eight teams will advance to the final stage, which will take place in December, until we reach the final pair.
– The other 22 teams will continue their duties as usual.
– All games will be played as part of the 82-game season. Two teams will only be charged with one more game, those who qualify for the final.
– There are considerations of pre-determined prizes for the 8 teams that will qualify for the final stages.
– There is a thought that each player of the team that wins the trophy will receive $1 million as a prize.
