The first ever NBA In-Season Tournament with NBA Experiences

Experiencing the first-ever NBA In-Season Tournament with NBA Experiences 

History has been made in the NBA! The first ever NBA In-Season Tournament tipped off with Group Play Games on Friday, November 3rd, 2023, concluding with the Championship Game on December 9th, 2023. 

All 30 NBA teams had a chance to compete for the coveted NBA Cup starting with four Group Play Games. Eight of those teams advanced to the Knockout Rounds comprised of single-elimination games.

Only four teams qualified to play in the Semifinals and Championship Games at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The four teams who will forever be written in the NBA In-Season Tournament history were the Los Angeles Lakers, Indiana Pacers, Milwaukee Bucks, and the New Orleans Pelicans.

After four, game-7 energy-like games, two teams advanced to the first-ever In-Season Tournament Championship Game: the Los Angeles Lakers and the Indiana Pacers.

The Lakers were crowned the first-ever NBA In-Season Tournament Champions and winners of the sought-after NBA Cup after an incredible game, defeating the Pacers 123-109. Based on his overall performance, Lebron James was named the first NBA In-Season Tournament MVP.

NBA Experiences honored history in the making, in an extraordinary way with many never-before-seen exclusive experiences that created memories that will last a lifetime.

On the T-Mobile Arena Court, 1983 NBA Champion Julius Erving and American Sports Caster Ahmad Rashad joined our guests for an unforgettable interactive meal. Fans could chat, take photos, and eat with Dr. J in a way most people could only dream of. 

At the NBA Champions Club by NBA Experiences, our guests joined 6X NBA All-Star Mitch Richmond at Top Golf for a one-of-a-kind afternoon filled with food, games, and exclusive prizes.

Before each game, fans were able to get the VIP treatment inside our exclusive Premium Hospitality. Located inside T-Mobile Arena, guests got to eat, drink, and chat with NBA Legends such as 9X All-Star Gary Payton, 7X NBA Champion Robert Horry, 11X NBA All-Star Julius Erving, and 6X NBA All-Star Mitch Richmond.

It wouldn’t be an event in Las Vegas without some flash! NBA Experiences guests walked the same red carpet as the stars of the league and snapped photos with the iconic NBA Cup.

Lights | Camera | Action. Our guests lived out their broadcast dreams by experiencing what it’s like to sit behind the sports broadcasting desk and meet some of the network talent at both TNT and ESPN.

The NBA In-Season Tournament marks a pivotal moment in basketball history, and as a proud partner of the NBA who is thrilled to offer fans once-in-a-lifetime experiences around the world, NBA Experiences is honored to have been a part of this historic event and we can’t wait for next year’s tournament!
