Last week, we published an article about the Wizards’ draw in the NBA in-season tournament for the 2023-24 season. Overall, I’m happy to see that the NBA is trying to do something to increase the importance of regular season games, especially early in the season. But I also feel that the in-season tournament could still use some improvements.
1. Increase the number of teams that make the knockout stage
This year’s tournament will include all 30 NBA teams who play in six groups of five. But only four teams will make the elimination round in December.
