The 2019-20 NBA season lasted more than a full year, from the start of training camp (Oct. 1, 2019) to the end of the finals (Oct. 11, 2020).
There was a lot of time off during that span, of course, but it was not a relaxing few months. It was a time fraught with worry over a global health pandemic — a time when a lot of players couldn’t work out in a meaningful way and/or wouldn’t have wanted to if they could.
Then all but eight teams were whisked away to Orlando — some for a handful of weeks, some for several months.
