In-season tournament

See main article: 2023 NBA In-Season Tournament. The NBA introduced 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 was modeled after the WNBA Commissioner's Cup and in-season multi-stage competitions held in European soccer. The tournament was structured as follows:[49] [50] [51]

The schedule for the in-season tournament was released on August 15, 2023, two days before much of the regular season schedule was released.[52] The semi-finals and championship game were hosted in the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada. On December 9, 2023, the Los Angeles Lakers went undefeated in the tournament to win the inaugural NBA Cup title by beating the Indiana Pacers in the championship game. LeBron James won the inaugural Tournament MVP award.[53]

Only the top six seeds in each conference advanced to the main rounds of the 2024 NBA playoffs, while the next four seeds participated in a Page playoff system tournament from April 16–19, 2024. In each conference the 7th-place team hosted the 8th-place team in the double-chance round needing to win one game to advance, with the winner clinching the 7th seed in the playoffs. The 9th-place team hosted the 10th-place team in the elimination round requiring two wins to advance, with the loser being eliminated from the contention. The loser in the double-chance round hosted the elimination-round game-winner, with the winner clinching the 8th seed and the loser being eliminated.[54]

    Linear television

    This is the eighth year of a nine-year deal with ABC, ESPN, TNT and NBA TV.[103] ESPN has Wednesday and Friday night games during most of the regular season, along with selected Sunday games from February to April, and a Monday night doubleheader on March 18.[104] TNT has Tuesday games, and Thursday games during opening week and again from January to April.[105] 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 the other national broadcasters are not airing games.[106] ABC's schedule includes NBA Saturday Primetime games on selected Saturdays between December and March (including a tripleheader on January 27), and NBA Sunday Showcase games on four selected Sunday afternoons in February and March.[104] 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.[107]

    This season, ESPN and TNT began featuring simulcasts or alternative broadcasts of selected games on ESPN2 and TruTV, respectively.[108] [109]

    For the NBA in-season tournament, TNT and ESPN aired selected group stage games as part of their regular Tuesday and Friday coverage, respectively. NBA TV had two on Friday, November 24.[110] During the knockout stage, TNT aired all four quarterfinals on December 4 and 5. For the semifinals on December 7, ESPN televised the early game and TNT will have the late game. The championship game on Saturday, December 9 was on ABC.[111] During these weeks, ESPN and NBA TV will continue to air other regular season games on Wednesdays and other days, including ESPN's coverage of consolation games on December 6 and December 8.[104] [112]

    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 televised fewer than three NBA Christmas games.[104]

    Four Martin Luther King Jr. Day games were televised nationally, with TNT and NBA TV airing two apiece.[46] [105] [106]

    For the second consecutive season, the league held NBA Rivals Week from January 23 to 27, 2024, with each nationally televised game featuring "classic and budding rivalries between teams and players".[46]

    On the final day of the regular season, Sunday, April 14, two games with playoff implications were flexed into ESPN's afternoon doubleheader.[46] [104]

    Streaming

    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.[113]

    NBA League Pass continues to offer out-of-market games, live access to NBA TV, and on-demand replays of every game.

    Local

    The Washington Wizards' broadcaster became Monumental Sports Network prior to the start of the season. In September 2022, Monumental Sports & Entertainment bought out NBCUniversal's ownership stake in what was then its regional network brand, NBC Sports Washington.[114] [115]

    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.[116]

    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.[117] 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."[118] [119] [120] 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.[121] On July 14, 2023, the deal became official when Diamond declined to match Gray's contract offer, going forward with the intended plan of theirs, only removing KPHO-TV from the initial list that included KTVK and KPHE.[122] With Bally Sports later losing airing rights to the Arizona Diamondbacks to the MLB itself and the NHL's Arizona Coyotes to Scripps Sports, Bally Sports Arizona ended up shutting down services on October 21, 2023.

    On October 1, 2023, Diamond Sports missed a payment to the Orlando Magic. However, on November 6, 2023, Diamond Sports and the NBA reached a one-year agreement that will result in the contracts for teams airing on Diamond expiring after the 2023–24 NBA season, but result in the Magic being paid in the process. Across the board, all NBA teams airing on Diamond Sports will receive a 16% reduction in the money they receive, but teams will now be able to exclusively sell 10 games of their choosing to local over-the-air stations.[123] [124] However, on January 17, 2024, Diamond Sports announced a restructuring agreement after receiving a $115 million investment from Amazon. The restructuring agreement supersedes the prior agreement with the NBA, so rights for the NBA will no longer expire following the 2023–24 season.[125]

    The following teams reached agreements to sell games to over-the-air stations:

    [127]

    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.[137] [138]

    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.[139] AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain later rebranded itself to just SportsNet Rocky Mountain before shutting down services on October 21, 2023.

    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.[140]

    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.[141] Doc Rivers left ESPN after he became the Bucks head coach in January 2024.[34]

    Boston Celtics television announcer Mike Gorman announced his retirement effective after this season.[142] For this season, Gorman is only calling home games, with Drew Carter taking over for preseason and road games. Carter was also announced as Gorman's successor effective next season.[143]

    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.[144]
