The Corona changes everything. If we got used to the end of October being the time when the NBA season begins, the plague came and taught us otherwise. According to a report on ESPN, the team leaders and the league marked October 12 as the deadline for the last (seventh) game of the final season of the current season.
According to the report, in hectic internal talks, which also involves the players' organization, all parties strive for a solution and return to the pitches, with July 31st is supposed to be the date when they return to play.
The plan is to build a series of games that will end the regular season in a limited format, with only 22 teams participating - the 16 teams currently in playoff positions (places 1-8 in the west and east) and six other teams with the best balance; Currently, these are New Orleans, Portland, San Antonio, Sacramento and Phoenix West, and Washington East.
Everything still needs approval, including from Commissioner Adam Silver and at least three-quarters of all 30 NBA teams.
