The NBA continued to move toward an agreement with the players on a plan for the upcoming season on Thursday, with the Board of Governors and the National Basketball Players Association’s team representatives approving the deal.
ESPN reported late Thursday that the player representatives voted and were ready to move forward with a deal the sides have been working on steadily since the season ended last month, with the Lakers winning the championship in the COVID-19-interrupted campaign.
