Could the eight NBA teams left out of the resumed season play games of their own?

As 22 teams prepare to head to Orlando and resume the season, some of the eight teams left on the outside of the playoff push inside the bubble want to play games of their own.

The Knicks though, are not one of those teams.

It’s understandable why teams left outside of the resumption of the season would want to get their players back in action. With the season suspended after games of March 11 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, even if next season somehow manages to start on the NBA’s hopeful date of December 1, it would mean nearly nine months without a game for those teams.
