Explaining how group play should work and benefit Orlando Magic, NBA

The NBA came out of a conference call with its board of governors Friday one step closer to returning to play.

The league has targeted July 31 as its return date — giving teams ample time to go through a training camp and get back to some playing shape before games begin. But how the league will return is still a matter up for debate.

Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports the league is planning to approve commissioner Adam Silver’s recommendation to return to play with either 20 or 22 teams at ESPN’s Wide World of Sports Complex at Disney.
