With the NBA regular season over, the teams not in the playoffs are gearing up for the most important dates this offseason, including the NBA Lottery and NBA draft. Along with that, there are dates for Summer League, Free Agency, and everything else to keep in mind. Here are the most important dates to look forward to.
Important Dates
May 16: NBA Draft Lottery
June 12: NBA Draft early entry withdrawal date
June 22: NBA Draft
July 6: NBA Free Agency begins
July 3,5,6: Salt Lake City Summer League
July 7-July 17: Las Vegas Summer League
October 24: Regular Season Begins
What’s interesting about the upcoming season is that it may be just 80 games rather than 82 games if the in-season tournament is approved.
NBA informed teams today that the 2023-24 season will start on Oct. 24, 2023, and conclude April 14, 2024.

Noteworthy: If/when In-Season Tournament is approved, initial schedule will have 80 games per team; remaining games scheduled after eight teams advance to knockout rounds.
We’ll see how the in-season tournament affects this upcoming season but you can bet teams with depth are going to have an advantage with all the additional games. The Utah Jazz will have a large influx of youth to mix in with an all-star in Lauri Markkanen. The biggest thing that could change the Jazz’s season is the upcoming lottery and if they can win. If they do, it changes everything for them.
