The Phoenix Suns’ four-game NBA Cup schedule for 2024 will include a nationally televised game against LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Nov. 26 showdown on TNT is the only nationally broadcasted game of the NBA Cup schedule for Phoenix, which was released in full by the NBA on Tuesday.

The Suns will also face the Utah Jazz, Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs in their group.

From Nov. 12-Dec. 3, each team will play four group play games – one game against each opponent in its group, with two games at home and two on the road.

Eight teams will advance to the knockout rounds. The team with the best standing in group play games in each of the six groups will advance. The team that finishes with the best record and point differential among second-place teams will take the wild card spot.

The knockout rounds will consist of single-elimination games for the eight teams that advance from group play, beginning with the quarterfinals on Dec. 10-11. Teams that win will progress to Las Vegas for neutral-site semifinals on Dec. 14 and the championship on Dec. 17.

Groups for the 2024 NBA Cup were previously announced.
