| NBA Calendar Dates

NBA Calendar: Key NBA Dates and NBA DeadlinesThe NBA calendar, updated once every six months, shows NBA deadlines and key NBA dates. The NBA deadlines tend to be around the same time each year, but the lockout changed the 2011-12 schedule around quite a bit. The most important key NBA date during the regular season is the trade deadline, which in 2012 is on March 15. Other key NBA deadlines are listed below. The dates generally never, ever change once they're set, but if by some crazy chance anything does change it'll be updated below. This page was last updated in February of 2012.
