When Will the Next NBA Season Start?
The next NBA season is set to start on December 22, 2020.
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 is an active member of USA Basketball (USAB), which is recognized by FIBA (also known as the International Basketball Federation) as the national governing body for basketball in the United States. The NBA organizes accredited clinics and holds training camps for USA Basketball during the off-season.
The league was founded on June 6, 1946, as the Basketball Association of America (BAA). It adopted the name National Basketball Association on August 3, 1949, after merging with the rival National Basketball League (NBL). The league’s several international as well as individual teams have won several championships. Players from across the globe play in the NBA.; Earl Lloyd, Harris Edwards Jr., Nat Clifton, and Chuck Cooper were some of the first African-American players to join what was then a mostly white league.

Conclusion
It is looking more and more likely that the next NBA season will not start until at least December. The good news is that there are several reasons to be optimistic that the season will happen. First, the NBA has shown a willingness to be flexible with its schedule in order to accommodate a delayed start. Second, the league has been in communication with the Players Association and seems to be working towards a resolution. Finally, there is a growing feeling among owners, general managers, and others that it is in everyone’s best interest to get the season started as soon as possible.
While it is still possible that the season could be delayed or canceled altogether, it appears increasingly likely that we will see basketball this winter.
