Ahead of NBA 2K26 Summer League, the NBA on Prime made its first official announcement as a league partner. Prime Video will have the rights to the NBA for the first time this coming season, including the NBA Cup and NBA Play-In tournament.

On July 9, Prime used analyst Blake Griffin to team up with Oklahoma City Thunder star Chet Holmgren to announce the NBA Cup Groups.

Oklahoma City finds itself in Group A following a championship in 2025 and a trip to the NBA Cup title last December.

The Thunder are joined by divisional goes the Minnesota Timberwolves and Utah Jazz along with the Phoenix Suns and Sacramento Kings.

Oklahoma City should be the clear-cut favorites to return to Las Vegas for the final four of the NBA Cup tournament, with the path that lies ahead for the Thunder. Of the four group stage games, two will be at home and two will be road tilts. Locations have been determined for the tilts, with dates and times to be announced.
