The NBA Board of Governors on Tuesday gave its consent for the play-in tournament for the 2021-22 season to continue.
The 2021-22 season tips off on October 19.
The tournament will maintain the same format as this year; teams that finish the regular season with the seventh-highest through the 10th-highest winning percentages in each conference will compete to fill the seventh and eighth playoff seeds in each conference.

The board also approved changes to roster-related rules regarding the use of two-way players during the regular season and the maximum number of players that a team may carry on its active list for a game.
Training camp will begin September 28 as the league returns to its traditional schedule for the first time since the beginning of the 2019-20 season.
