Knicks to face Hornets, Heat, Bucks, and Bulls in 2025 NBA Cup

The NBA officially revealed the six groups for the 2025–26 NBA Cup on Wednesday, marking the third edition of the league’s in-season tournament.

New York, which has been good-not-great in the first two years of competition, learned its path to the Lite O’Brien trophy along with the rest of the L.

And hey, it’s fair to say the Knicks shouldn’t have trouble making it through the group stage given their opponents.

Group play begins on October 31 and runs through late November, with the quarterfinals and semifinals set for December in Las Vegas, but if the Knicks want to get there, they will need to fend off efforts by Charlotte, Chicago, Milwaukee, and Miami.
