The 2023-24 NBA season has just started, and just like every other season, there are a few teams who are the favorites to win it all.
However, apart from winning the ultimate prize, there is another trophy up for grabs for NBA teams this season.
Yes, we are talking about none other than the NBA’s In-Season Tournament.
The group stages of the newfound competition have already begun, and the Milwaukee Bucks began it with a convincing win against the New York Knicks.
After the win, Damian Lillard shared his goal regarding the NBA In-Season Tournament via SportsCenter on Twitter.

The finals of the NBA In-Season Tournament will take place later in the year.
The league has decided to conduct the finals of the new tournament in Las Vegas in December 2023.
As Lillard mentioned, the Bucks are planning to make their way to the finals of the NBA In-Season Tournament in Las Vegas.
After finishing last season as the number one seed in the Eastern Conference, the Milwaukee Bucks have somewhat struggled to win games in the 2023-24 campaign.
The Bucks currently have a 3-2 record and hold the sixth seed in the conference.
Will the Bucks be able to win the new in-season tournament?
Only time will tell.
