Hawks general manager Travis Schlenk said the NBA has told GMs that the 2020-21 season schedule could be condensed to stay close to its typical format.
"I think the league wants to stay as close to its original schedule as possible," Schlenk said on a conference call with reporters, per ESPN's Tim Bontemps. "There's a lot of different reasons for that–the college season, the draft and how all of that plays out. so that's why they've laid out a timeline where it would be a very quick turnaround from the NBA Finals to the start of the season.
