Luka Doncic named to 2025 NBA Cup All-Tournament Team
The 2025 Emirates NBA Cup concluded on Tuesday with the New York Knicks overcoming an 11-point deficit to defeat the Spurs, 124-113. All-Star guard Jalen Brunson had 25 points and eight assists to lead the Knicks to that victory.
The speedy guard averaged 22.3 points, 7.7 assists and 2 steals per game in helping the Spurs reach the final and finish with a 5-2 record in the tournament.
With two minutes and 29 seconds left in the NBA Cup Finals between the Knicks and the Spurs, Jalen Brunson turned the ball over while being guarded full court by Dylan Harper. Knicks head coach Mike Brown turned to the bench and yelled for backup point guard Tyler Kolek to re-enter the game for Jordan Clarkson.
The 2026 NBA Cup's fourth installment of the in-season tournament created by league commissioner Adam Silver could be the biggest one yet. A big change is likely coming to the competition as the NBA Cup's time in Las Vegas could be coming to an end.
