The 2024 NBA Cup was a multi-stage basketball tournament played during the 2024–25 NBA season. It was the second edition of the NBA Cup. All 30 teams participated, each playing four regular season games that counted towards the tournament's group stage standings—all in the knockout round, except for the championship game. The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder in the championship game. Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo was named the Most Valuable Player of the tournament.
The Los Angeles Lakers entered as the defending champions, but were eliminated in the group stage. The Indiana Pacers were also eliminated in the group stage after losses to the Miami Heat, Milwaukee Bucks, and Detroit Pistons, meaning that the championship game consisted of two new teams: the Bucks and the Oklahoma City Thunder.
