NBA Opens Season With Record G League Presence
The 2026–27 NBA season is underway, with early attention on young contenders such as Oklahoma City and San Antonio, the Knicks’ title aspirations, and high-profile matchups including Knicks–76ers and Spurs–Thunder. The opening-night rosters include a record 53.2% of players with G League experience and players from a record-tying 43 countries; their average age is 26.3. Miami, featuring new addition Giannis Antetokounmpo, has had a rough start, losing its first three games as Antetokounmpo fouled out in one defeat.
