Le début de la saison NBA est synonyme de retour à l'anonymat pour une quantité de joueurs signés à l'occasion du training camp. Chaque franchise doit réduire son roster à 15 membres et désigner trois joueurs avec des Two-Way Contracts qui permettent de faire facilement la bascule entre la NBA et la G-League.
Parmi les noms les plus connus qui n’ont pas passé le cut du camp d’entraînement, on retrouve Elfrid Payton chez les Pacers. L'ancien meneur du Magic devrait évoluer comme l'an dernier chez les Mad Ants en GLeague, l'équipe affiliée d'Indiana. Plutôt à l'aise au Thunder en 2022 (10.1 points et 4.8 rebonds), Isaiah Roby n'a pas séduit le coaching staff des Knicks. Le vainqueur du dernier Slam Dunk Contest Mac McClung est lui remercié par Orlando. Après un exercice solide en sortie de banc chez les Timberwolves (10.8 points en 19 minutes), Jaylen Nowell n'a pas réussi son essai chez les Kings, tout comme le revenant Jeremy Lamb. Hamidou Diallo, laissé libre par Detroit au terme de son contrat malgré de bonnes stats (10.3 points et 4.3 rebonds en 20 minutes), ne portera pas le maillot des Wizards. Enfin, l'ancien espoir des Knicks Kevin Knox sort par la petite porte du traning camp des Trailblazers.
Cette intersaison risque aussi d'être fatale pour quelques vétérans. Coupé par les Kings, Nerlens Noel peut encore rebondir chez une franchise en quête de taille dans la raquette. Idem pour Khem Birch remercié par les Spurs sans avoir joué le moindre match pour San Antonio. Ancien lottery pick 2015, Justise Winslow enchaîne les franchises depuis son départ de Miami, mais n'a pas été conservé par les Raptors. Quant à Rudy Gay (37 ans) et Rodney McGruder (32 ans), leurs parcours en NBA pourraient bien s'arrêter au camp d'entraînement des Warriors. Recalés par la franchise, ils auront bien du mal à trouver un contrat.
