The NBA commissioner wants a full season with 82 regular season games and playoffs. To that end, the new season would start in January, as opposed to the previously promised start in December.
North American basketball league (NBA) leader Adam Silver believes the next season can only begin in January 2021.
"The more I know, the more I think we'll do better if the fight doesn't start until January," Silver told CNN on Tuesday. "Our goal is to play a normal season with 82 matches and then the playoffs. in halls, in front of fans. "
The league president has said before that he would start the December 1st start too early.
Normally, the NBA regular season kicks off in the fall, but the coronavirus epidemic has completely upset the schedule. The 2019/20 season interrupted in March and then, after a good four-month hiatus, continued and ended in a so-called bubble in Florida. The champion will be inaugurated no later than mid-October.
The later the new season begins, the more likely it is that NBA pros will take part in the Tokyo Olympics, which will be postponed to next summer.
