As expected, it was a busy and exciting first day of NBA Free Agency.
The 2021 NBA free agent period officially opened at 6 p.m. ET on Monday and reports on deals started coming in immediately. Some of the top free agents — including star guards Kyle Lowry, Chris Paul and Lonzo Ball — were among the first to reportedly sign, and take to social media.
