We haven't even had the 2020 NBA Draft yet, but it's looking like it's a go for training camps to begin in less than 4 weeks and the 2020-21 season to kick off a few weeks later.
NBA Voting Update: All the momentum on the player side today indicates that the union, through a vote of team player representatives, is poised to ratify the NBA's plan to open training camps Dec. 1 and start the 2020-21 season Dec. 22 by week's end
There was talk that some stars like LeBron James didn't want to begin the season anytime soon, but guessing that when the NBA Players Association broke down the financials of not starting in December and all the lost revenue from TV deals the majority of players were fine with the Christmas start.
