== Play-In Tournament ==
=== Eastern Conference ===
* (7) Miami 117-108 (8) Ohio
Despite not having their star forward, Miami's defense and 20-point contributions from Tyrese Jackson and Reece Marquez edged them over Ohio, in a game where Nicholas Uzonz only had 18 points. Miami's win meant that they would enter the playoffs as the 7th seed and face Baltimore, with hopes high due to the return of Jackson Jennings Jr.
* (9) Charleston 122-124 (10) Detroit
Akko de Lumno posted a career-high 16 rebounds to go along with 29 points and a turnaround, buzzer-beating game winner to knock Charleston out of the Play-In tournament and propel the Mariners to a potential 8-seed matchup against Pittsburgh. In only his first year, Isaac Butler dropped a game-high 33 points and looked very promising for Charleston's future despite the loss.
* (8) Ohio 115-119 (10) Detroit
With Tyson Rudy back from an injury that sidelined him for most of the season, the Mariners showed why they were the much better team despite being a lower seed. Nicholas Uzonz had a good bounce-back game, posted a near 30-point triple-double, but it ultimately wasn't enough to advance his team to the playoffs.
