For the first time since the NBA went on hiatus on March 11, there seems to be real traction for one single return-to-play plan. There will not be an official vote until the Board of Governors meet on Thursday, but the assumption is that commissioner Adam Silver’s 22-team plan will be approved, and the 2019-20 season will resume on July 31.
That start still feels like a long ways away, but it will give teams sufficient time to have their own training camp, followed by some time for teams to get comfortable in the Orlando bubble.
