The NBA Cup is considering moving the tournament’s championship game out of Las Vegas next season, ESPN reported Monday.
The league already announced in September that it would no longer play the semifinals and championship game at a neutral site. Now the title match could also go down right next to the famous Las Vegas Strip.
There have been plenty of empty seats for the eight games played in Las Vegas over the past three seasons.
The report states that the NBA is concerned about the lack of energy and enthusiasm, compared to quarterfinal games played in NBA arenas.
The New York Knicks will meet the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night in the 2025 NBA Cup final.
The Los Angeles Lakers won the inaugural NBA Cup in 2023 and the Milwaukee Bucks won the title last season.
