Pacers’ 2024 In-Season Tournament Schedule Announced

The NBA’s In-Season Tournament is now known as the Emirates NBA Cup and before announcing the full 82-game schedule for each team, the league opted to first unveil Group Play games.

The Pacers reached the finals of the tournament last season, ultimately losing to the Los Angeles Lakers at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas .

The Pacers finished 6-1 during this special run, which elevated the team and gave them the big-game experience (and national TV appearances) they had been seeking.

And that, in turn, was helpful for their push to the Eastern Conference Finals in the spring.

Pacers’ Schedule | East Group B:

1. Friday, Nov. 15 v Miami Heat , 7 p.m. ET
2. Friday, Nov. 22 at Milwaukee Bucks , 7:30 p.m. ET | ESPN
3. Friday, Nov. 29 v Detroit Pistons , 8 p.m. ET
4. Tuesday, Dec. 3 at Toronto Raptors , 7:30 p.m. ET

*The game against the Pistons is a home game on the day after Thanksgiving.

The Format

• There are six groups consisting of five teams in each.
• Group Play will be held on Tuesday and Friday nights from Nov. 12 through Dec. 3.
• Eight teams advance to the Knockout Rounds, which are single-elimination games.
• The 22 teams that fail to advance will have two more games added so that all teams play at least six games.
• Then, the final four teams will head to Las Vegas for the semifinals and finals at T-Mobile Arena for the second consecutive year, held on Dec. 14 and 17.
• Reminder: all games (except the finals) count toward the regular season.

The rest of the 2024-25 schedule is expected to be released later this week.
