NBA Rumors: 22-Team Regular Season Format Would Include Eight Regular-Season Games, Then Play-In Tournament

Although the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has yet to subside, professional sports leagues have begun to finalize steps to resume play.

The NBA, after suspending its 2019-20 regular season back in March, is finally on the cusp of a return as the league and the NBPA have been in constant discussions on plans to get going again. The NBA recently announced talks with Walt Disney World to use the resort and theme park as a bubble location for the teams invited to compete.

Also, there have been ongoing discussions on an acclimation period of a couple of weeks to help players with their strength and conditioning.
