What happened: Clubs are settling final rosters and unresolved free-agent business before the 2026-27 season. The window for preseason moves closes as opening night arrives within a day.

Why it matters: Late movement determines rotations, payroll flexibility and bench depth before opening night. Unresolved free agency and trade talks shape roster options carried into the early season.

What to watch: Opening-night rosters lock ahead of tip-off. Any further deals or signings will clarify rotations.
