The two tryouts will occur on the same day, with a morning session followed by an afternoon session. The first will start at 10 a.m., and the second will begin at 2 p.m. Both tryouts will be facilitated by Brooklyn and Long Island Nets basketball operations personnel, who will assess participants through a variety of drills and scrimmages.

Former local player tryout success stories include Craig Randall II, a 2021 local tryout participant who appeared in 27 games for Long Island during the 2021-22 season and was named NBA G League Player of the Month for February. Randall II became the first local tryout player in NBA G League history to earn Player of the Month honors. Additionally, four players from Long Island's local player tryouts in 2019 - Joe Cremo, Jonathan Kasibabu, Angel Nunez and Ash Yacoubou - made their way onto the Long Island Nets roster at various points during the 2019-20 season, with Kasibabu appearing in 36 of the team's 42 games during his full season with the team and making 26 starts.
