Updated with tentative deal: The National Basketball Players Association has tentatively approved the NBA’s plan to begin the 2020-21 season on December 22 with a 72-game schedule. The agreement clears an important hurdle in the league’s return, though matters like free agency and other details still need to be worked out.
The Covid-shortened 2019-20 season ended October 11 when the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals. The season was cut short after the pandemic lockdown, with the remainder of regular season games and the postseason played in a bubble in Orlando.
