The NBA is considering having NBA Cup results tied into postseason seeding. There is a proposal to make advancement in the NBA Cup into the primary tiebreaker for postseason seeding. The NBA's Board of Governors is expected to consider the proposal and to eventually vote on it.

There are different options that will be considered. One option is to make it the primary tiebreaker, over head-to-head results, when two teams are tied. Another option is to have NBA Cup advancement as the second tiebreaker, behind head-to-head results.
