The NBA season is inching closer and closer with media days concluding Monday.
Due to their preseason matchup in Abu Dhabi on Friday, the Boston Celtics and Denver Nuggets held their respective media days last week. That left the remaining 28 teams to hold theirs Monday.
From Victor Wembanyama and Chris Paul posing together to LeBron and Bronny James standing side-by-side, NBA media days had no shortage of memorable images. They also cemented transactions that sent familiar faces to new places, like Klay Thompson in a Dallas Mavericks uniform.
Here are the sights and sounds from 2024 NBA media day on Monday.
