The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame induction ceremony for the 2020 class is still scheduled for Aug. 29, but the committee plans to make a decision in the coming week on whether it will be delayed amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to The Boston Globe's Gary Washburn, Hall of Fame CEO John Doleva said it will be decided whether induction festivities will still be held from Aug. 28-30. If the event is postponed, alternate dates would include Columbus Day weekend (Oct. 9-11) or an undetermined date in the spring of 2021.
The standout 2020 Hall of Fame class is highlighted by Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett, along with WNBA player Tamika Catchings, FIBA executive Patrick Baumann and coaches Eddie Sutton, Rudy Tomjanovich, Kim Mulkey and Barbara Stevens.
