For the first time since the 2014–15 NBA Development League season, two teams are playing against each other in the Finals for the second straight year, as the Rio Grande Valley Vipers face the Delaware Blue Coats in a rematch from 2022, where the Vipers had won in two games. Delaware, who previously reached the Finals in 2021 and 2022, is the first team since the Santa Cruz Warriors (2013-2015) to reach the Finals in three straight years. The Vipers are the fifth defending champion to reach the Finals the following year.
