    All set for 2021-22 season: Media day arrives in the NBA

    Media day arrives in the NBA, the start of 2021-22 season
    Sep 27, 2021
    Leading camps for the first time are Portland's Chauncey Billups, Orlando's Jamahl Mosley and Washington's Wes Unseld Jr.

    THE NBA is back, returning on Monday (Tuesday, Manila time) with most teams around the league holding media day interview sessions ahead of the official start of training camps on Tuesday.

    There will be new faces in new places, with five coaches — Boston's Ime Udoka, Portland's Chauncey Billups, Orlando's Jamahl Mosley, New Orleans' Willie Green and Washington's Wes Unseld Jr. — set to lead camps for the first time.

    Rick Carlisle is back in Indiana, where he coached from 2003 through 2007, and Jason Kidd takes over in Dallas after playing for the Mavericks and helping them win the 2011 NBA title.

    The pandemic will affect a third NBA season and already means some people will be missing on media day. Reigning Western Conference champion Phoenix says Devin Booker has entered the league's health and safety protocols and won't be available on Monday.

    The first preseason game is Sunday, when Brooklyn visits the Los Angeles Lakers.
