Week 17 saw the beginning of training camp and NBA preseason games. I will not breakdown any of the preseason games, but paying close attention to them will be key to see who makes rosters for the regular season. The season opens on October 22nd.  I will also try and provide any training camp injuries that happen to significant players. I will not keep track of players that are waived, but will keep the projected rosters available on the 2024-2025 season previews.
