Each week during the 2022-23 NBA season, we will take a deeper dive into some of the league's biggest storylines in an attempt to determine whether the trends are based more in fact or fiction moving forward.
If there is a general consensus on an in-season tournament, it is this:Who even asked for anything? Are we just being anti-fun for the heck of it? I am baffled by this., the NBA and its players' union are giving us more meaningful games. I do not understand any response other than a full-on embrace of an inaugural in-season tournament during the 2023-24 campaign.Teams will be assigned to six intraconference pools of five .
The NBA will schedule 80 regular season games at the start of next season, including pool play. The tournament's quarterfinals and semifinals will count toward the regular season. All remaining teams will be scheduled additional games that run concurrently with the competition to ensure each roster plays 82.
At worst, we get one extra game between two teams that survived pool play and multiple rounds of a single-elimination tournament for the right to compete for something like $10 million split between winning players and coaches. Details about how prize money will be allocated, including among two-way and 10-day players, are still being determined.
Only, here's the thing: The NBA is not married to this or any version of an in-season tournament. Next season will be a trial run, and the league is unlikely to abandon the concept after its initial attempt. That is not to say the parameters will remain the same. Increasing the prize money is on the table, especially if sponsors and media partners invest in the idea, as is adding charitable contributions.
