When does the 2023 Free Agency start?
The NBA Free Agency officially starts on July 6, 2023, this year. However, negotiations between the team and players can commence on June 30, 2023. This does not mean that official signings can take place anytime before the 6th of July. The intermediate period between the 30th of June and the 6th of July is largely for official negotiations between the players and their respective teams.
It is also before the start of Free Agency that most player option clauses must be decided upon and triggered. Most player options have a deadline on the 29th of June, right before the free agency window begins. This year NBA teams will be looking to land some promising young talents and seasoned veterans in the coming window.
Although this year’s free agents may not make the most sensational bunch in recent years, there are indeed a few big names to go by. From James Harden and Kyle Kuzma to Kyrie Irving and D’Angelo Russell, from Khris Middleton and Draymond Green to Austin Reaves and Bruce Brown, stars of the sport will be signing new deals quite soon.
