When the NBA Season Will Resume

The NBA season was suspended on March 11th due to the coronavirus pandemic. Here are the latest updates on when the season may resume.

Introduction

It’s been over two months since the NBA season was put on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic, and there’s still no clear indication of when or how the season will resume.

At first, it seemed like the league might be able to resume play in early June, but that plan was quickly quashed by the reality of the pandemic. NBA commissioner Adam Silver said that while the league is “still hoping to resume play at some point,” it is “unlikely” that will happen before June.

Now, it appears the earliest the season could resume is July, though even that is far from certain. The July date is contingent on a number of factors, including the availability of testing for players and staff, and finding a way to minimize the risk of spreading the virus.

It’s also worth noting that not all players are on board with returning to action so soon. Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has said he doesn’t want to play if he doesn’t feel it’s safe for himself and his family, and other players have echoed those sentiments.

As we wait for more information on when (or if) the NBA season will resume, we’ll keep you updated on all the latest developments.

The NBA’s plan to resume the season

The NBA is planning to resume the 2019-20 season in late July at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. All 22 teams that were within six games of a playoff spot when the season was suspended on March 11 due to the coronavirus pandemic will take part in an eight-game regular-season schedule, followed by a playoff tournament.

The plan, which was approved by the NBA’s Board of Governors on Thursday, still needs to be approved by the National Basketball Players Association. If all goes according to plan, training camps would open in late June and games would begin on July 30. The regular season would then conclude on August 14, with the playoffs beginning three days later and running through mid-September. The NBA Finals would then take place in October.

When the NBA season will resume

The NBA has been on hiatus since March 11th due to the coronavirus pandemic.

There has been much speculation as to when the season will resume, but no definitive answer has been given as of yet.

However, it is looking increasingly likely that the season will resume sometime in late July or early August. Specific dates and details have yet to be announced, but it is expected that the league will release more information in the coming weeks.

Until then, fans can only wait and hope that the NBA season will resume soon.

How the NBA season will be different

When the NBA season does eventually resume, it will look vastly different than the one that was interrupted back in March. For starters, there will be no fans in attendance at games, which means players will have to get used to playing in front of empty arenas. Additionally, all games will be played at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, with no home-court advantage for any team. Lastly, the schedule for the remainder of the season has not yet been released, but it is expected that each team will play around eight regular-season games before entering the playoffs.

Conclusion

The NBA season will resume on July 30th with each team playing 8 games to determine playoff seeding. The playoffs will then begin on August 17th and run until a champion is crowned in early October.
