Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic suspended the season and forced the NBA into a bubble at Walt Disney World, the league has said that it hopes to start the 2020-21 season by Dec. 1.
That date, commissioner Adam Silver said on ESPN on Thursday night, is starting to feel “a little bit early.”
Silver wants fans in stands
Silver, speaking ahead of the NBA draft lottery, said the top goal for the league is playing games back in teams’ respective home markets.
Doing that by Dec. 1, however, just may not be possible.
