The Emirates NBA Cup in-season tournament hasn’t been kind to the Bulls through the first two years of its existence, and it’s not like Year 3 lines up with an easy road, either.
The team announced the four-game pool play schedule on Wednesday, opening up Cup play Oct. 31 at home to face the New York Knicks. Game 2 for the Bulls is close by, heading up the highway to Milwaukee on Nov. 7, while they will host Miami on Nov. 21, and wrap up pool play in Charlotte on Nov. 28.
The way the Cup is set up is that all 30 NBA teams were randomly drawn into six groups of five within their conference, and based on the win-loss record from the 2024-25 regular season.
