  • LeBron James and Co won the inaugural NBA Cup in 2023 but do they have any hope of defending their title this year?

The Los Angeles Lakers are still in contention for the knockout round of the NBA Cup 2024, despite a challenging start in the In-Season Tournament. They are currently in West Group A, where they have a record of 1-2. To advance, the Lakers need to win their remaining group stage game against the Utah Jazz on November 21, 2023, and hope for favorable results from other games in their group. Specifically, they need the Phoenix Suns to lose at least one of their final two games, and the Lakers must win by a significant margin to improve their point differential, which is currently at -16. If they manage to win and other results align, they could potentially secure a wild card spot, which is awarded to the team with the best record among second-place teams from each group. However, their path to the knockout stage is narrow and depends heavily on both their performance and the outcomes of other matches.
