Wait, wait. Just a sec.

How can you play Rewind games in the NBA offseason? With the Finals now over, the NBA isn’t playing real games until October.
What gives?
Rewinding the Offseason
We have a plan!
There will now be a short period of time where the current leaderboard and progression rewards remain live, allowing you to make a final push. On Tuesday, we will release new Thunder-specific challenges to celebrate the new NBA champs. These will count towards the current leaderboard and progression.
Then, on Wednesday the Rewind offseason kicks off in earnest. Rewind will transition to a series of pre-designed challenges based on the best performances from the season.
Rewind’s Weekly Takeovers
Each week during the offseason, Rewind will have a new theme for its Top Plays and Replays, and each day will be highlighted by an individual player. Such as:
Award winners: Can you match the best IRL performances from MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Clutch Player of the Year Jalen Brunson and Sixth Man of the Year Payton Pritchard?
Team rivalries: Play out the best among Lakers-Celtics, Knicks-Nets, Thunder-Wolves, Mavericks-Suns and more. For Lakers-Celtics, one day will be all LeBron challenges, another will be all Tatum challenges, etc.
No. 1 overall draft picks: Play challenges featuring Anthony Davis, Victor Wembanyama and more.
Each theme includes its own leaderboard, and you can always go back and play past challenges.
