What happened: Ryan Nembhard cleared at 5 PM ET Tuesday to reach the open market. He enters his second NBA season eligible to sign with any club for 2026-27.

Why it matters: Unrestricted status removes waiver order from the process and widens his field of suitors. Open-market timing lands before camps finalize depth charts for the upcoming 2026-27 season.

What to watch: Watch for his next signing as camp rosters take shape.
