The courts will be on full display for a month of In-Season Tournament days. As noted by NBA.com, the fully-painted courts will feature the new NBA Cup trophy for the tournament winner at center court.

There will also be "a contrasting wash of color from lane-to-lane, creating a 16-foot wide 'runway' across the court." NBA Cup silhouettes will also appear in the lanes.

As for the logistics of the tournament, all 30 teams are split into six separate groups of five franchises apiece. Those groups are split by conference (East A, B and C and West A, B and C).

Those teams will then play four round-robin group play games (two at home, two on the road) that run through November on Fridays and Tuesdays.

The winners of each group (plus the best runner-up from each conference) will advance to an eight-team, single-elimination quarterfinal.

Quarterfinals (Dec. 4 and 5) will be hosted at home NBA arenas, but the semifinals (Dec. 7) and finals (Dec. 9) will be held in Las Vegas. All In-Season Tournament games will count in the standings except for the finals.
