Report: Tentative NBA schedule features play-in tournament, no All-Star Game

The 72-game NBA season is officially kicking off on Dec. 22, and there are reportedly more changes in store for the slightly shorter pandemic season.

ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski tweeted a tentative NBA schedule on Sunday that includes an All-Star break with no All-Star Game and playoff dates that bring them perilously close to the start of the delayed 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.
