With that said, join us for the low down on how they work. What is an expiring contract in the NBA ? It’s exactly as it sounds. When players are coming to the end of their contracts, we can say that it’s expiring and with that, a whole host of factors come into play.

The NBA plans to loosen the restrictions on team scouting high school players , according to a memo obtained by ESPN. Starting in mid-December, teams will be allowed to send personnel to select high-profile high school tournaments.
