Royal Reading: NBA reportedly looking into World Cup format to continue season

The NBA continues to work towards putting a plan in place to continue the 2019-20 season. We have heard of several formats for the league to resume play, including going straight into a traditional 16-team playoff, having each team play a few more regular season games before going into the postseason, and having a play-in tournament.

The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor says the league has one more potential solution to finish out the year, which is similar to soccer’s World Cup format. Under this proposal, the Sacramento Kings would be one of 20 teams participating in a tournament to crown an NBA champion.
