The NBA’s in-season tournament has taken the league by storm in 2023-24, and we now know which teams will face off in Group State this fall.
Now called the Emirates NBA Cup, all 30 teams will compete in another in-season tournament — and you don’t have to wait for the full 2024-25 NBA schedule to be released to find out who the Sacramento Kings will have in their group.
Here is the schedule of the Kings’ group matches in November and December:

About the Emirates NBA Cup
The 30 teams will be randomly assigned to groups of five within their conference based on their win-loss records from the 2023-24 regular season. Beginning Tuesday, Nov. 12 and ending Tuesday, Dec. 3, each team will play four designated group games on “cup nights” – one game against each opponent in their group, with two games at home and two away.
Eight teams will qualify for the knockout stages: the team with the best group play finish in each of the six groups and two “wild cards” (the team from each conference with the best group play record and having finished second in its group).
The knockout stages will consist of single-elimination games in the quarterfinals (played in NBA teams’ markets on Tuesday, December 10 and Wednesday, December 11) and the semifinals and championship games (played in Las Vegas on December 14 and 17, respectively). The single-elimination teams will compete for a prize pool and the NBA Cup championship trophy.
