What happens in Vegas might not actually stay in Vegas.
Evan Wasch, the NBA’s executive vice president of basketball strategy, lauded the city as a “fantastic home” for the semifinals and championship games of the NBA’s inaugural In-Season tournament last year. He also expressed gratitude for T-Mobile Arena hosting the Emirates NBA Cup semifinal games on Saturday (Atlanta-Milwaukee, 4:30 pm ET; Houston-Oklahoma City, 8:30 pm ET) and the subsequent championship game (Tuesday, 8:30 pm ET).
In a Zoom call with various international outlets on Thursday, however, Wasch said that “we’re not committed to Las Vegas beyond this season.”
