Thanks to some reporting from ESPN — Woj and Bontemps are all over it — we now have more details about the 2020 NBA off-season. Working backwards from the date of the NBA Draft (November 18) to the start of training camps (December 1) and the 2020-21 season (December 22), it became clear that the window for free agency was going to have to open and close fast.
As a result, the league’s free agency period, which often invites much excitement and fanfare, will begin on Friday, November 20th at 6pm EST. This will give teams just 10 days to get their rosters sorted out before heading full-on into their preparations for the 2020-21 season.
