Groups for 2025 NBA Cup tournament released by league. Tournament ends Dec. 16 in Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS, JUL 9 – The Lakers and Clippers join Memphis, Dallas, and New Orleans in West Group B as part of the NBA's In-Season Tournament with games running Oct. 31-Nov. 28.

  • The NBA announced the groups and schedule for the third NBA Cup tournament, which will run from October 31 to December 16, 2025, ending with finals in Las Vegas.
  • The league formed six groups of five teams each, drawn by conference based on 2024-25 win-loss records, with the Lakers leading West Group B and Milwaukee defending as East Group C's top team.
  • Group play will occur on Fridays from October 31 through November 28, with teams playing two home and two road games against each group opponent, followed by quarterfinals on December 9 and 10.
  • Eight teams—six group winners and two wild cards—will advance to the quarterfinals, where games count toward regular-season records, but the December 16 championship game in Las Vegas will not affect season stats for either finalist.
  • Teams eliminated before quarterfinals will play additional games against other non-qualifiers to complete the 82-game season, aligning the Cup tournament within the full NBA regular-season schedule rollout announced in August.
