When Will the NBA Season End?
The NBA season is slated to end on July 22nd. However, with the coronavirus pandemic still raging on, it is possible that the season could be pushed back.
Introduction
The regular season of the National Basketball Association (NBA) is the period during which most games are played. It begins in late October, with a few pre-season games, and ends in mid-April. The vast majority of games are played between January and March. The NBA Finals, which determines the champion of the league, is played in June.
It is worth noting that the NBA doesn’t use a very traditional model when it comes to their seasons. In most other sports leagues, there is a huge chunk of the year where no games are being played. This isn’t really the case for the NBA. Sure, there’s a brief break in between the end of one season and the beginning of another, but for the most part, there is always some sort of basketball being played.
This can be seen in how long the NBA season is compared to other major sports leagues. The NFL season is about 4 months long, while MLB and NHL seasons are each around 6 months in length. However, the NBA regular season spans a full 7 months!
So when will this year’s NBA season come to an end? Let’s take a look at some important dates to keep in mind.
The regular season
The NBA regular season typically runs from October to April, with each team playing 82 games. The playoffs usually start in late April, and the Finals are typically played in June.
The playoffs
The NBA playoffs are a best-of-seven elimination tournament held after the conclusion of the regular season to determine the league’s champion. Each conference—the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference—has three divisions, and each division has five teams. The team with the best record in each division qualifies for the playoffs, as do the next best three teams in each conference, regardless of divisional alignment.
The Finals
The Finals are the championship series of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Eastern and Western conference champions play a best-of-seven game series to determine the league champion.
The winning team of the series receives the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy, which replaced the Walter A. Brown Trophy in 1983. The losing team of the series receives the Bill Russell Memorial Trophy, which was previously awarded to the winning team.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the NBA season will most likely end in late June or early July. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the exact date is still unknown. The NBA is currently working on a plan to resume the season, but it is still unclear how they will do so.
