LA gets in on the fun next Friday.
, a very bizarre Adam Silver project to goose pre-Christmas league interest that no one else seems to much want or understand, just got underway on Friday with the first"Tournament Night" activity of the year.Every game was part of the tournament's Group Play stage. Each of the NBA's 30 clubs has been divided into six five-team groups, and will play against each of the other teams in those groups once from November 3rd through the 28th .
The eight teams with the best Tournament Night records will advance to the Knockout Round phase of the tournament, a series of three single-game elimination stages comprising a Quarterfinals on December 4th or 5th, a Semifinals on December 7th, and a Championship on December 9th. The 22 teams that didn't make it that far will play regular season games amongst themselves, sort of the equivalent of the kids' table at a family gathering, on December 6th and 8th.
For the curious, yes, every game of this in-season tournament aside from the actual championship match will count towards a team's 82-game regular season schedule. If you're an older team like your Los Angeles Lakers or their Crypto.com Arena neighbor the Los Angeles Clippers, why would you want to effectively play an 83rd regular season game, just for the chance to win an extra $500K?
Your 3-2 Los Angeles Lakers will be playing in the “West A” group, alongside the 2-3 Phoenix Suns , the 2-3 Utah Jazz, the 2-3 Portland Trail Blazers, and the 0-5 Memphis Grizzlies, reeling without gun-toting leader Ja Morant. Their first Tournament Night game is next Friday, November 10th, against the Suns.
