These games still counted as regular season games. *The winners of each pool and two wild-card teams advanced to a single-elimination tournament. *The semifinals and championship game were played in Las Vegas. *Players for the tournament champion each received $500,000. *To compensate, the NBA's regular season scheduling formula was modified so only 80 games for each team were initially announced during the offseason. The first two rounds of the in-season tournament would then count as regular-season games 81 and 82. The championship game would then be an extra 83rd game that would not count toward the regular season. Teams that did not qualify for the in-season tournament knockout round, or were eliminated in the quarterfinals, were then scheduled additional games against each other that were eliminated in the same conference (if possible) and rounded to reach 82 games. The schedule for the in-season tournament was released on August 15, 2023, two days before much of the regular season schedule was released.<ref name="In-Season Tournament Schedule">{{cite news |title=2023 NBA In-Season Tournament Schedule |url=https://www.nba.com/news/2023-nba-in-season-tournament-schedule |date=August 15, 2023 |access-date=August 15, 2023|website=NBA.com}}</ref> The semi-finals and championship game were hosted in the [[T-Mobile Arena]] in [[Paradise, Nevada]].
