Sometime this Friday, we will probably know what the format of an NBA return-to-play will look like. The Board of Governors will talk via conference call Friday and presumably vote on Adam Silver’s plan. Until then, expect speculation on whether the league will play a few regular season games (maybe even an exhibition game or two); schedule some sort of play-in tournament to settle the final two playoff spots in each conference or go straight to the post-season. There’s also the issue of training camp. How long will players be given to get ready.
There will also be speculation in Brooklyn and elsewhere about whether Kevin Durant and/or Kyrie Irving will be active when the Nets arrive (presumably) at Walt Disney World next month and ready to play.
