The 2023 NBA In-Season Tournament was an multi-stage basketball tournament that is part of the 2023–24 NBA season. It was the first edition of the NBA In-Season Tournament. All 30 teams participated, each playing four regular season games that count towards the tournament's group stage standings. All games in the knockout round, except for the championship game, also counted towards the regular season standings. The tournament's semifinals and championship game were played at T-Mobile Arena on the Las Vegas Strip.

The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Indiana Pacers in the In-Season Tournament finals.

Format

The tournament's format is similar to in-season, multi-stage tournaments in European soccer.

In the group stage, each conference was divided into three groups with five teams each, for a total of six groups. Regular season games played on Tuesdays and Fridays between November 3 and November 28 counted in the regular season standings and the In-Season Tournament standings. Each team played one game against each of the other teams in its group, for a total of four games (two at home and two on the road).

If two or more teams in a group had equal records upon completion of group play, the following tiebreakers were applied in this order:

1. Head-to-head record in the group stage
2. Point differential in the group stage
3. Total points scored in the group stage
4. Regular season record from the 2022–23 regular season
5. Random drawing

Each group's winner then advanced to the knockout stage, as did one wild card from each conference – the group runner-up with the best group stage record. The knockout stage will be a single-elimination tournament. Quarterfinal games were played in local NBA markets on December 4 and 5, with the teams with the top two group stage records in each conference hosting, and the best team in group-play games will host the wild-card team. The semifinals will be played on December 7, and the championship will be on December 9. The final two rounds will be played at T-Mobile Arena on the Las Vegas Strip.

Quarterfinal and semifinal games also count as regular season games, affecting teams' positions in league standings, but the championship game does not. Statistics from the championship game are not counted in regular season totals.

The four teams that lose in the quarterfinals will play one additional game on December 8, against each other in the same conference.

While the knockout stage is concluding, the 22 teams that did not qualify for the knockout stage will play two additional regular season games in order to make sure each team plays 82 total regular season games, one at home and one on the road, based on the group stage standings, but also subject to travel constraints. Among these 22 total matchups, 20 will be intra-conference games, with an attempt by the league to schedule as many teams that were originally scheduled to only play each other three times during the regular season. The other two matchups will be interconference games, since there will be an odd number of teams in each conference (11). These two interconference matchups will feature four of the six teams that finished last in their respective group.

Prize money

Players on teams advancing to the knockout stage will receive prize money as follows:

• Players on teams that lose in the quarterfinals: $50,000 each
• Players on teams that lose in the semifinals: $100,000 each
• Players on the tournament runner-up team: $200,000 each
• Players on the tournament championship team: $500,000 each

Draw

Pots

Teams were allocated into five pots per conference based on the 2022–23 regular season standings. Pot 1 contained the teams with the top three regular season records in each conference, while Pot 2 contained the teams with the fourth to sixth best records and so forth concluding with Pot 5, which contained the teams with the bottom three (thirteenth through fifteenth) records.

Media coverage

The group stage of the tournament was covered by the NBA's existing broadcasters.

In national linear television broadcasts in the United States, TNT selected Tuesday games, ESPN selected Friday games, and NBA TV had two on Friday, November 24. Most group stage games were instead only televised locally by the teams' regional broadcasters. During the knockout stage, TNT will air all four quarterfinals in primetime on December 4 and 5. For the semifinals on December 7, ESPN will televise the early game and TNT will have the late game. The championship game will air on ABC in primetime on December 9.

TruTV will also air three alternative telecasts of Quarterfinal and Semifinal games that air on TNT during the knockout round.

ESPN2 will also air an alternate telecast for the Championship game on December 9.

All TNT's games will be streamed on Max including two exclusive alternate telecast of quarterfinal games on December 5. NBA League Pass will offer out-of-market group stage games, as well as live access to NBA TV's games.

In Canada, TSN, Sportsnet, and NBA TV Canada show selected games nationally, including all Toronto Raptors games.

Semifinal ESPN/TNT broadcast collaboration

Ahead of the semifinals, ESPN and TNT announced that their broadcast teams would collaborate on each other's coverage. For ESPN, TNT's Reggie Miller would join Mike Breen, Doris Burke and Lisa Salters, while on TNT, ESPN's Doc Rivers would join Kevin Harlan, Candace Parker and Allie LaForce. TNT's Inside the NBA (including NBA Tip-off) studio team of Ernie Johnson Jr., Kenny Smith, Charles Barkley and Shaquille O'Neal would also collaborate with their ESPN counterparts, the NBA Countdown studio team of Malika Andrews, Stephen A. Smith, Michael Wilbon, Bob Myers and Adrian Wojnarowski, during the other network's coverage.
