During a typical NBA league year, teams become eligible to sign players to 10-day contracts on January 5, and many of the signings that take place between that date and the end of the regular season are of the 10-day variety.
However, for a second consecutive year, the league has allowed 10-day signings to be completed earlier in the season as long as a team is using a hardship exception to make the move. And with so many players in the league’s health and safety protocols, hardship exceptions have been available to a ton of teams around the NBA.
That means Hoops Rumors’ 10-day contract tracker, which we use to keep tabs on every 10-day signing completed in a given season, has been brought out of hibernation a little early in 2021/22.
Besides featuring all of this year’s 10-day deals, our 10-day contract tracker includes information on all 10-day contracts signed since the 2006/07 season. The search filters in the database make it easy to sort by team, player and year. For instance, if you want to see all the 10-day contracts that the Lakers have signed in the last 15 years, you can do so here.
You can also see whether a player and team signed a second 10-day contract, or if those short-term deals led to an agreement that covered the rest of the season. Additionally, our tracker, which is updated when a 10-day signing becomes official, notes which 10-day deals remain active, saving you from having to figure out whether a particular contract ends on Wednesday or Thursday.
A link to our 10-day contract tracker can be found at any time in the right sidebar under “Hoops Rumors Features” on our desktop site. On our mobile site, you can find it on our “Features” page. We’ll be keeping it up to date for the rest of the season, so be sure to check back to keep tabs on the latest signings as they become official.
Someone get Falco on the line, we need the replacements.
