The crosstown rivals are in West Group B for the third In-Season Tournament, along with the Memphis Grizzlies, Dallas Mavericks and New Orleans Pelicans.

All 30 teams have been randomly drawn into groups of five within their conference based on win-loss records from the 2024-25 regular season. Beginning Oct. 31 and continuing through Nov. 28, each team will play four Group Play games on designated “Cup Nights” – one game against each opponent in its group, with two games at home and two on the road.

Once again, the Lakers were drawn into Group B for the NBA Cup and have compelling matchups like Luka Dončić’s former team, the Mavericks, on the schedule.
