Mark your calendars. The NBA and the Players Association have come to an agreement on a CBA for the 2020-21 season, meaning the regular season will begin on Dec. 22. Free agency will commence on Nov. 20, two days after the NBA Draft.
Per the report from ESPN, the particulars of the season follow what was rumored last week; 72 games, the same salary cap and luxury tax numbers as 2019-20, and a multi-year escrow system so that players will never have more than 20 percent of their salary withheld in a single season.
