Less than two weeks after the NBA season finally came to an end, the league could be looking toward a start to next season as soon as Dec. 22.
The Athletic reported that a source inside the NBA’s Board of Governor’s meeting Friday indicated that a Dec. 22 start with a 72-game schedule is the target. ESPN said that Christmas Day could be the startup date with a schedule of 70 to 72 games.
