The winner of each group and two wild card teams advance to the Knockout Rounds. The NBA says the wild cards will be the team from each conference with the best record in Group Play games that finished second in its group.
The Knockout Rounds will be single-elimination with the first rounds being at home for the higher seeded teams. The semifinals and finals will be in Las Vegas on Dec. 14 and Dec. 17. The winner claims the NBA Cup championship trophy.
All the games across both stages of the Emirates NBA Cup will count toward regular season standings except the championship, the NBA says.
