Players traveling outside of the U.S. need to report by June 15 to team markets, while the rest of players need to arrive by June 22, Adrian Wojnarowski also notes.
The NBA has also informed teams that starting today, up to two coaches/development personnel can work out a player, according to Shams Charania.
