Nobody is out yet. Every player on an opening-night roster enters the field when the 2026-27 season tips on 2026-10-20, and the first missed game removes him. Most of the field goes early: in 2025-26, 192 of the 522 players who held a seat on opening night never took the floor that night.

DASHED: MEDIAN OF 18 COMPLETE 82-GAME SEASONS · BAND: THEIR FULL RANGE. SHORT SEASONS (2011-12, 2019-20, 2020-21) EXCLUDED.

Everyone on an opening-night roster is in the field. Those who take the floor are in the club, and the first game a member misses removes him — playing counts, dressing does not. Regular season only: NBA Cup group games count toward the 82, the Cup final and the play-in do not. * marks a player traded or waived mid-season, who is judged on the games he was actually available for — a denominator that is not always 82.
