The Brooklyn Nets (0-1) play against the Boston Celtics (0-0) at TD Garden

Game Time: 3:30 PM EDT on Sunday April 17, 2022

For some players and teams, free agency decisions start before the market opens on July 1st. More than 40 players have options for the 2022-23 season and will know in the next days or weeks if they will hit the market or remain under contract for one more year.

Those in the league with knowledge of the situation expect Toronto’s Nick Nurse, Philadelphia’s Doc Rivers and Utah’s Quin Snyder to be candidates should they become available. Former Portland coach Terry Stotts, former Oklahoma City coach Scott Brooks, former Lakers coach Mike Brown and Utah assistant Alex Jensen also might be considered. Same for Juwan Howard, who interviewed in 2019, although sources told The Times that his intention is to continue coaching Michigan, where two of his sons play. Читать дальше...
