In addition, testing will begin June 23, and teams will play three exhibition games in Orlando prior to the start of the NBA season.
A flurry of loose ends were tied up on Friday morning around the NBA, as teams now have a firmer idea of when players have to be in their home markets, as well as when they will begin on-court work in Orlando.
The most pertinent information is that training camps, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, are due to start on July 9 in Orlando, and teams will participate in three contests that amount to preseason games between July 9-29. Players have gotten their way when it comes to the runway back to playing again, as the NBA’s desire to hit the court after two to three weeks has turned into nearly two months from when facilities were allowed to reopen and when official preseason games will begin.
