Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images The NBA Cup is considering relocating the in-season tournament's championship game away from Las Vegas next season, ESPN reported Monday.
The league already announced in September that they will no longer play both the semifinals and championship game at a neutral site. Now the title game could be going bust just off the famed Las Vegas Strip as well.
There have seen plenty of empty seats for the eight games played in Las Vegas over the past three seasons.
The report said the NBA is concerned about the lack of energy and enthusiasm, compared to the quarterfinal games played at NBA home arenas.
The New York Knicks will meet the San Antonio Spurs in the 2025 NBA Cup final on Tuesday night.
The Los Angeles Lakers won the inaugural NBA Cup in 2023 and the Milwaukee Bucks won the title last season.
