In an interview with Bob Costas on CNN, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said he thinks it’s more likely that the 2020-21 season will start instead in January 2020 ... at the earliest.
But he said he’s hopeful that when the league does re-start, fans will be part of the experience.
“I continue to believe that we’re going to be better off getting into January,” Silver said in a discussion during the “Citizen by CNN” event. “The goal for us next season is to play a standard season ... an 82-game season and playoffs. And further, the goal would be to play games in home arenas in front of fans, but there’s still a lot that we need to learn.
