The NBA and its players union have agreed to push back the date by which the league can terminate the Collective Bargaining Agreement in the wake of a pandemic, according to ESPN.
Under normal circumstances, the CBA would be in effect until the end of the 2023-24 season with both sides able to agree to an opt-out after the 2022-23 season. But after suspending the season on March 11, the NBA had a 60-day window to terminate the CBA under the force majeure event provision triggered by the coronavirus outbreak. The new extension triples that window, establishing a deadline at the end of September.
