In-season tournament

The NBA will introduce the new NBA In-Season Tournament for the 2023–24 season, with all games except the championship final counting towards the regular-season standings. It will be modeled after the WNBA Commissioner's Cup and in-season competitions held in European soccer. The tournament will be structured as follows:[38][39][40]

Six intraconference pools of five.
Tuesdays and Fridays during November will feature group games against each of the other teams in their pool (two at home and two on the road). These games will still count as regular season games.
The winners of each pool and two wild-card teams will advance to a single-elimination tournament.
The semifinals and finals will be played in Las Vegas.
Players for the tournament champion will each receive $500,000.
To compensate, the NBA's regular season scheduling formula will be modified so only 80 games for each team are initially announced during the offseason. The first two rounds of the in-season tournament would then count as regular season games 81 and 82. The final would then be an extra 83rd game that would not count toward the regular season. Teams that do not qualify for the in-season tournament, or are eliminated in the quarterfinals, would then be scheduled additional conclusion games against each other that are eliminated in the same conference (if possible) and round to reach 82 games.

The schedule for the In-Season Tournament was released on August 15, 2023.[35] The additional conclusion games for those teams that do not qualify for the in-season tournament, or are eliminated in the quarterfinals, will be announced at a later date.

Arenas

This is the Los Angeles Clippers' final season at Crypto.com Arena, as the team is scheduled move to the new Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, beginning with the 2024–25 season.[41]
The Utah Jazz's home arena, known for several years as Vivint Arena, reverted back to its original Delta Center name on July 1, 2023 as the team came to a new naming rights agreement with Delta Airlines.[42]
The San Antonio Spurs' home arena, formerly known as AT&T Center, was renamed Frost Bank Center on August 3, 2023.[43][44]

Media

National

This is the eighth year of a nine-year deal with ABC, ESPN, TNT, and NBA TV.[45]

ESPN primarily broadcasts Wednesday and Friday night games for most of the season, and games during selected Sunday nights from February to April. ABC is scheduled to air nine NBA Saturday Primetime games, including a tripleheader on January 27, over seven selected Saturdays between that January date and March. ABC will also have NBA Sunday Showcase on four selected Sunday afternoons in February and March, with three of them as doubleheaders.[46] On October 2, 2023, it was announced that five January games originally scheduled as part of ESPN's Wednesday doubleheaders would instead air on ABC.[47]

TNT airs Tuesday games all season, and Thursday games from January to April.[48] NBA TV televises games primarily on Mondays all season, Saturday and Sunday nights for most of the season, Thursdays during the first half of the season, Fridays during the second half of the season, and any other time when neither ESPN/ABC nor TNT are airing games nationally.[49]

This is the first regular season that the streaming service Max will have live access to TNT's games on its Bleacher Report Sports Add-on tier.[50]

Five Christmas Day games are scheduled for this season. With Christmas Day falling on a Monday in 2023, the NFL also scheduled a Monday Night Football on that day. Because ABC/ESPN holds the broadcast rights to both NBA Christmas games and Monday Night Football, it was decided that ESPN will again air all five NBA games, but ABC will only simulcast two of them in favor of exclusively airing the Monday Night Football game. This would mark the first time since 2016 that ABC will televise fewer than three NBA Christmas games.[46]

Four Martin Luther King Jr. Day games will be televised nationally, with TNT and NBA TV airing two apiece.[2][48][49]

On January 23–27, the league will hold "NBA Rivals Week" for the second consecutive season, with every nationally televised game featuring "classic and budding rivalries between teams and players".[2]

On the final day of the regular season, April 14, two games with playoff implications will be flexed into ESPN's afternoon doubleheader.[2][46]

Local

The Washington Wizards' broadcaster NBC Sports Washington is planned to be renamed as Monumental Sports Network prior to the start of the season. In September 2022, Ted Leonsis's Monumental Sports & Entertainment bought out NBCUniversal's ownership stake in the channel.[51][52]

Diamond Sports Group bankruptcy

The 16 NBA teams who had deals with the Bally Sports regional sports networks may be affected by its operator Diamond Sports Group's March 14, 2023, decision to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Diamond had initially sought to continue broadcasting regional games while it plans to separate from majority parent Sinclair Broadcast Group as part of the reorganization.[53]

On April 20, 2023, the Phoenix Suns signed a five-year agreement with Gray Television to replace Bally Sports Arizona as their broadcaster. Most Suns games would then be carried on broadcast television by Gray's KTVK, KPHO-TV, or KPHE-LD in Phoenix (as well as Tucson sister station KOLD-DT5, a new Gray station in Flagstaff, KAZF, and a new Gray station in Yuma, KAZS, with the latter two launching before the season starts). The Suns will also operate an over-the-top subscription service called "Suns Live", which is created by Kiswe.[54][55][56] After the announcement, Diamond accused the team of breaching its contract and bankruptcy law, stating that the team was making an "improper effort" to "change their broadcasting partner without permitting Diamond to exercise our contractual rights." In response, Phoenix Suns CEO Josh Bartelstein stated that "Diamond's position is totally inaccurate. We are moving forward with this deal and could not be more excited about what it means for our fans and our future."[54][55][57] On May 10, 2023, the bankruptcy judge voided the Suns contract with Gray, ruling that the Suns violated Bally Sports Arizona's contractual right of first refusal. He ordered the parties into arbitration.[58] On July 14, 2023, the deal became official when Diamond declined to match Gray's contract offer.[59]

AT&T SportsNet closure

In February 2023, Warner Bros. Discovery announced it was winding down its AT&T SportsNet regional sports network business, affecting the Houston Rockets and the Utah Jazz's broadcasters, AT&T SportsNet Southwest and AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain, respectively. The Portland Trail Blazers' deal with Root Sports Northwest is not affected because Warner Bros. Discovery only has minority control of that network.[60][61]

On June 20, 2023, the Jazz reached an agreement with Sinclair Broadcast Group owned stations KJZZ-TV and KUTV to become its new television home. Jazz owner Ryan Smith will start a new in-house production division, SEG Media, to produce the telecasts. While all games will air on KJZZ, Sinclair retains the right to carry select telecasts on KUTV, and KUTV will maintain an "official station" relationship with the team, allowing more coverage of the Jazz and its players. The deal will also include a streaming service, which will not involve KJZZ-TV.[62]

The Houston Rockets and the MLB's Houston Astros took over ownership of AT&T SportsNet Southwest, rebranding it as Space City Home Network on October 3, 2023.[63]

Personnel

As part of a wave of layoffs, ESPN released analysts Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy, and replaced them with Doris Burke and Doc Rivers on the lead announce team with Mike Breen.[64]

Boston Celtics television announcer Mike Gorman announced his retirement effective after this season.[65] For this season, Gorman will only call home games, with Drew Carter taking over for preseason and road games. Carter was also announced as Gorman's successor effective next season.[66]

The Brooklyn Nets added Noah Eagle, son of primary television announcer Ian Eagle, to the broadcast team calling select games. The younger Eagle is expected to call around 10 games in lieu of Ian and secondary announcer Ryan Ruocco.[67]
