NetsDaily Deadlines and Commitments - No. 105

A little more than week to go before Opening Night in Indiana. The NBA season is finally in sight. There’s still only one Brooklyn Nets preseason game left. The Long Island Nets are gearing up as well.

October 11 - The Nets and 76ers travel to Nassau Coliseum for the Nets’ final preseason game. The renovated Coliseum, owned by Mikhail Prokhorov's Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment, is home to the Long Island Nets. YES will broadcast the game.

October 14 - Nets Open Practice will be held outdoors at Brooklyn Bridge Park on the East River. "Practice in the Park" will be a free ticketed event, but tickets are sold out.

October 16 - Teams must get down to 17 players, 15 on NBA contracts, two on two-way deals. As the team with the worst record last season, the Nets will have first shot at waived players, but they must have an open spot and enough cap space to take on the player’s deal.

October 18 - The Nets open their 2017-18 regular season vs. the Pacers at the Bankers Life Field House in Indianapolis.
