The NBA free-agency period opened at 6 p.m. on June 30, 2026. Multiple teams completed signings and extensions within the first hours of the market.
Hardaway Jr.
signing A veteran guard agreed to a one-year, $6.5 million contract with the Miami Heat. The player averaged 13.5 points per game and shot 41 percent from three-point range during the prior season with another club. The Heat had traded several players earlier in the offseason and needed additional perimeter shooting.
The new signing is expected to provide spacing and backcourt depth while remaining available for most games.
Dieng signing A 23-year-old forward reached a three-year, $17.5 million agreement to remain with the Milwaukee Bucks. The player had appeared in 26.8 minutes per game for the Bucks last season after earlier stops with three other teams. The forward shot 34 percent from three-point range in limited action and is viewed by the team as a developmental piece during a rebuilding phase.
The contract length exceeds the minimum salary the player might have received elsewhere.
