Introduction
The National Basketball Association (NBA) is a men’s professional basketball league in North America, composed of 30 teams (29 in the United States and 1 in Canada). It is widely considered to be the premier men’s professional basketball league in the world. The NBA was founded in 1946 as the Basketball Association of America (BAA). The league adopted its current name at the start of the 1949–50 season when it merged with the National Basketball League (NBL).
What Happened in 2020?
The 2020 NBA season was supposed to start on October 22, 2020. However, the season was pushed back to December 22, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

What’s New in 2021?
The 2021 NBA season is set to tip off on December 22nd, 2020. The league’s 72-game schedule will be condensed into 66 days, with each team playing 38 games. All games will be played within the team’s respective division. As a result, the 2021 season will mark the first time since the 1950-51 season that every team will play an equal number of games.
In terms of new rule changes, the biggest modification for the 2021 season will be the introduction of a play-in tournament for the final playoff spot in each conference. The tournament will take place between May 18th and 21st, and will feature the seventh and eighth seed in each conference squaring off in a best-of-two series. The winner of each series will then advance to the playoffs proper.
Conclusion
The 2021 NBA season is still up in the air, but it is looking like it will start sometime in December. Keep your eyes peeled for more information as it becomes available.
