2025 NBA FREE AGENCY TRACKER: LIVE UPDATES ON NEWS, RUMORS, SIGNINGS AND TRADES BY DANIEL MADER

The Thunder may be reigning NBA champions now, but as they aim to repeat their success in the 2025-26 season, the league’s 29 other teams are already gearing up to challenge them for

the Larry O’Brien trophy.

NBA free agency officially kicked off on Monday, June 30, marking a major milestone in the offseason and the busiest period for player transactions during the summer. Although financial limitations under the current league rules have affected how teams approach free agency and limited the number of big-name players available, there are still several notable free agents this year.

LeBron James and Kyrie Irving, both of whom had player options, made their decisions before the free agency window opened. Meanwhile, other notable players such as Myles Turner and Jonathan Kuminga entered free agency.

At the same time, the trade market is already heating up. Players like Kevin Durant, Jrue Holiday, C.J. McCollum, and Desmond Bane are reportedly on the move, and more high-profile deals are expected as teams finalize their free agency strategies.

With so much happening on the first day of free agency, The Sporting News is keeping fans updated with all the latest on player signings and trades, as well as key developments from earlier in the offseason.
